Hi,

I'm trying to use the url I got from the /downloadurl endpoint for downloading a file. When I paste the url on Chrome's address bar, the file is downloaded successfully. However, when using a different browser, such as firefox , HTTP clients like Postman or Bruno or simply Python or NodeJS scripts, I get an HTTP 403 error. I'm just pasting the provided url and sometimes even Chrome fails. According to the endpoint's documentation; no further authentication or headers are required. Is there any reason why I keep getting the 403 error?

Best regards

Hi,

I tried calling the `/files/fs/${file.id}/downloadurl` - https://developer.trimble.com/docs/connect/reference/openapi/core#get-/files/fs/-fileId-/downloadurl

and it works for me. I called it just with the file.id, without any QUERY-STRING PARAMETERS or any REQUEST HEADERS.
