Answer 2

Actually, the content-disposition header specifies the name and extension of the file: inline;filename="unnamed.jpg"
But in general, yes - just when saving the general, the name is random.

import requests
response = requests.get("https://lh4.ggpht.com/HSXdsQpFEOTgh0QywV4NzNJIPADnWnkCVOsMmQkIgG9K08pQcwpNiWlu3Ls73mzYMTM")
filename  = response.headers["Content-Disposition"].split(";")[1].split("=")[1].strip('"') #вместо этого можно сгенерить случайное имя
file = open(filename, "wb")
file.write(response.content)
file.close()
