Get a non-counting download URL

Get a short-lived download URL that never counts toward download stats.

Return a short-lived URL that streams the file straight from storage WITHOUT incrementing its download_count. Use it for your own downloads — backups, previews, console-side fetches — so owner activity never inflates the recipient-facing counter. The public /f/ link in your emails stays the counting path.

GET /v3/uploads/{id}/download

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Required	The upload id returned by `POST /v3/uploads` — always starts with `up_` (e.g. `up_9f3KzQ7wXt2mB4hN`).

Responses

Status	Description
`200`	An object with a single `url` — short-lived, so fetch it right before downloading rather than storing it.
`404`	No upload with this id on your account.
