Request Params
| Key | Datatype | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
version | number | The file version to download | |
access_token | string | An optional access token that can be used to pre-authenticate this request, which means that a download link can be shared with a browser or a third party service without them needing to know how to handle the authentication. | |
| When using this parameter, please make sure that the access token is sufficiently scoped down to only allow read access to that file and no other files or folders. |
HEADERS
