## Tested targets
- Google Chrome
- Google Japanese IME(Also known as "Google 日本語入力")
## Installation
Nix
```bash
nix run github:kachick/gwurl -- 'the_tagged_url_here'
```
Prebuilt binaries
```pwsh
#
```
## Motivation
As my understanding.
If we are downloading Google product as a Windows installer, it returns long and encoded URL as `https://dl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D%7~iid%3D%`.\
The iid is the "Instance ID", so downloading from this URL twice, the installer will not work. Even if you got the binary...!\
As far as I know, they does not open the list of these actual URLs.
I didn't know their motivation, but this is a blocker of getting installer permalinks. Especially in [winget-pkgs](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/144281#discussion_r1524718296).
