Hi@akhtar,

You can download one file from a specified S3 bucket. First, you have to create an S3 client using boto3.client as shown below.

import boto3
BUCKET_NAME = 'my_s3_bucket'
BUCKET_FILE_NAME = 'my_file.json'
LOCAL_FILE_NAME = 'downloaded.json'
def download_s3_file():
    s3 = boto3.client('s3')
    s3.download_file(BUCKET_NAME, BUCKET_FILE_NAME, LOCAL_FILE_NAME)
