# Download a job's file

`GET /api/v1/jobs/{id}/download`

A finished job's file (a contacts export's CSV) as a signed `url` that expires in 5 minutes. A job that isn't `COMPLETED`, or a kind with no file, is a `409`. Needs the kind's capability now: the file holds that data. Requires the `contacts:read` capability.
