Get File Content
Download the file’s bytes. Private, uncacheable, and always served as
an application/octet-stream attachment whatever the file’s own type -
read content_type from the file object for what it actually is.
Dark launch: requires the durable_runs_access entitlement (402 durable_runs_not_in_plan otherwise).
Authentication
AuthorizationBearer
Enter your API key with the Bearer prefix, e.g. ‘Bearer sk_…’.
Path parameters
file_id
File id (prefixed external id, file_...).
Headers
Speechify-Version
Response headers
Speechify-Request-Id
Unique identifier for this request, present on every response (2xx and
non-2xx alike). If the caller sends a `Speechify-Request-Id` request
header the server echoes it back (sanitized and length-capped) so one
logical request can be traced end-to-end; otherwise the server generates
a fresh value. Log it on every response and quote it in support requests
- it is the stable handle that ties your observation to Speechify's
server-side logs, and it matches the `request_id` field in the error
envelope.
The legacy alias `X-Request-ID` carries the same value and is still
accepted on requests, until 2027-07-24. Prefer the un-prefixed name
(RFC 6648).
Response
The file bytes. Always served as application/octet-stream and as
an attachment, whatever the file’s own type: the bytes are yours,
not ours, so they are never re-served under a media type a browser
would render. The file object’s content_type is what the file
actually is.
