# Download an export by public ID

> Public download by `pid`. No authentication required. Generates a pre-signed URL for a ready export and redirects (`302`) to it.

None | Redirect to a pre-signed download URL by public pid

This endpoint requires **no authentication**. Anyone who has the export `pid` can download the full export file — treat the pid as a secret.

            The `Location` URL is a **pre-signed S3 (DigitalOcean Spaces) link
            valid for 1 hour**. It serves the stored bundle with
            `Content-Disposition: attachment` and a filename derived from the
            export's name; the extension comes from the stored `bundle_path`
            (falling back to `.bin`). Follow the redirect with a plain GET — do
            not send the `x-conveyour-token` header to the S3 host.

      description: >-
        Team scope for the request, as one or more team ObjectIds. The brackets
        are required: PHP keeps only the last value for a repeated plain key, so
        `teams=A&teams=B` silently resolves to B alone. On requests with a JSON
        body you may send `teams` (no brackets) in the body instead.


        **Values that are not valid ObjectIds are silently ignored** — a
        mistyped team ID behaves as if no team was sent. See the [teams section
        of the API conventions guide](/guides/api-conventions#team-scoping).
