<p>The downloads API allows you to programmatically initiate downloads. In the
future, you will also be able to monitor and manipulate downloads.</p>
<h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2>
<p>The downloads API is currently experimental, so you must declare the
"experimental" permission to use it. Also, you must specify the hostname of any
URLs to be downloaded. For example:</p>
<pre>{
"name": "Download Selected Links",
"description": "Select links on a page and download them.",
"version": "0.1",
"permissions": [
"experimental", "http://*/*", "https://*/*"
]
}</pre>
<p>If the URL’s hostname is not specified in the permissions, then the
chrome.extensions.lastError object will indicate that the extension does not
have permission to access that hostname.
<a href="#properties">downloads.ERROR_*</a> are some of the errors that may be
returned.</p>
<h2 id="examples"> Examples </h2>
<p>You can find simple examples of using the downloads module in the
<a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/downloads/">examples/api/downloads</a>
directory. For other examples and for help in viewing the source code, see
<a href="samples.html">Samples</a>.</p>
