generateFilesDownloadUrl( )

Generates a URL for downloading a compressed file containing specific files in the Media Manager.

The compressed file can contain up to 1000 files.

To generate a permanent URL for downloading a compressed file that contains multiple files in the Media Manager, call the Generate Files Download URL endpoint. Since this is a permanent URL, it is less secure. Therefore, to download private files, call the Generate File Download URL endpoint for each private file that you want to generate a download URL for.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user’s permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
