aws-s3api: Download object from a bucket (The output file is always the last argument).

$ aws s3api get-object --bucket ${bucket_name} --key ${object_key} ${path-to-output_file}

try on your machine

This command is using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to download an object from an S3 bucket and save it to a specified output file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

aws s3api get-object: This is the main command to retrieve an object from an S3 bucket using the S3 API.
--bucket ${bucket_name}: This option is used to specify the bucket name from which the object will be downloaded. ${bucket_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual bucket name.
--key ${object_key}: This option specifies the object key (i.e., the path to the object) within the bucket. ${object_key} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual object key.
${path-to-output_file}: This is the path to the file on your local system where the object will be saved. It should be replaced with the desired output file path.

By running this command with the appropriate values for the bucket name, object key, and output file path, you will be able to download the specified object from the S3 bucket and save it locally.
