How do I download an object from Cloudflare R2?
Short answer: You can get r2 object in Cloudflare R2 by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Cloudflare R2 Get R2 Object action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Get R2 Object.
What does the Get R2 Object action do in Cloudflare R2?

What happens if Cloudflare R2 returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Cloudflare R2 returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get R2 Object support batch operations?
