Try to write your data to file:

import requests
import shutil


url = 'your url'
r = requests.get(url, stream=True)
if r.status_code == 200:
    with open(file_path, 'wb') as f:
        r.raw.decode_content = True
        shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, f)

You should write the data inside a file in order to be able to get it.

Like this:

with open('/District_Advisory_patna_17.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)
