How to download from the XML url using python

Question

I am trying to extract from the URL
I am trying to get the download from the first URL which file_type file_type is DLTINS

Below is the code

import requests
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
response = requests.get("https://registers.esma.europa.eu/solr/esma_registers_firds_files/select?q=*&fq=publication_date:%5B2021-01-17T00:00:00Z+TO+2021-01-19T23:59:59Z%5D&wt=xml&indent=true&start=0&rows=100")
root = ET.fromstring(response.text)

I am getting like object <xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree at 0x7fd745e84da0>

In response.text I am getting everything in string

I'm not sure what the problem is. You got an ElementTree object--that's what you want isn't it? — Iguananaut

Here is the solution

response = requests.get('https://registers.esma.europa.eu/solr/esma_registers_firds_files/select?q=*&fq=publication_date:%5B2021-01-17T00:00:00Z+TO+2021-01-19T23:59:59Z%5D&wt=xml&indent=true&start=0&rows=100')
root = ET.fromstring(response.text)
for i in root.findall('result'):
    for j in i.findall('doc'):
        for k in j:
            link = j.find('.//str[@name="download_link"]').text
            print(link)
            req = requests.get(link)
