Program for generating direct download links

If I create a program that will generate automatic download links for direct downloads, will there be any problems with the company's policy?   and what needs to be done for this

thank you very much for helping me, I appreciate it
I have one more question if I use /get_temporary_link
will the link have any restrictions on the time of use of this link will it be valid forever or after some time it will not be valid?

Igor6 The links returned by /2/files/get_temporary_link are only valid for four hours. Attempting to use one of these links more than four hours after the link was created will fail. You can find more information in the documentation for /2/files/get_temporary_link.
