I know #525 introduced release asset capabilities, but unless I've missed the right doc page I don't think it's possible to download the binary content of a release asset - just the information about an asset. See https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#get-a-single-release-asset and the note about downloading the asset's binary content.

Ah ha, that is diabolical. I think the best way to handle this is to add a method to GitReleaseAsset that calls GET self.url with the Accept header set. What do you think?

Sounds fair to me, although I can't say I'm too familiar with the code.

I can prepare something - I need the same thing + I need it in Actions artifacts.

But I am totally puzzled...

Actions artifacts - work fine...

Release Downlonads - not .. even from command line... but they do work through browser... very strange...

Is there still some interest in this capability?
I need to download ReleaseAssets and was able to add requestFile() to Requester.py and download_asset() to GitReleaseAsset.py and get it to work. I am sure there is more that will be needed. Is there anybody who can help?
