Can anyone please help me over this. As I am not able to download files in zip format from Zip download API.  I tried the POST method provided in zip download to create zip archive. got the 202 accepted code. download URL and Status URL is generating. The conflict array is coming blank.

when I used this download URL to download zip file but not able to download.

The problem is that the URL expires within a few seconds by default which to me makes no sense. I have a ticket open for that here:

For now as a workaround, if you hit the URL right away it is supposed to be valid for 12 hours. Not sure if that helps you as it doesn't help me.
