## Download specific file format for an entry

<mark style="color:blue;">`POST`</mark>`https://api.echo3D.com/download`

This query allows you to download a file of a specified format for a given asset. If the format for an asset does not exist, the request can optionally trigger the conversion and wait for the system to generate and return the file in the requested format.&#x20;

#### Request Parameters

All parameters must be included as form data with matching content type header `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`

Request may be rejected if the target asset does not support the conversion (eg, requesting a <code>glb</code> for a <code>pdf</code> asset).
