Zip Downloads

Download zip archive

Changed on

Returns the contents of a zip archive in binary format. This URL does not require any form of authentication and could be used in a user's browser to download the archive to a user's device.

By default, this URL is only valid for a few seconds from the creation of the request for this archive. Once a download has started it can not be stopped and resumed, instead a new request for a zip archive would need to be created.

The URL of this endpoint should not be considered as fixed. Instead, use the Create zip download API to request to create a zip archive, and then follow the download_url field in the response to this endpoint.
