# Get file content URL

Get a signed download URL for a file's content. The URL can be used directly in browser contexts (e.g., `<img src="...">`) without additional authentication headers.

Returns a short-lived, signed download URL for the file. The URL is valid for 1 hour and includes an embedded authentication token, so it can be used in HTML tags like `<img>`, `<video>`, or `<a>` without needing to pass an `Authorization` header.

#### Path Parameters

**`organization_id`** string required

The unique identifier of the organization.

**`file_id`** string required

The unique identifier of the file (format: `file_*`).

## Returns

A file content object containing the signed download URL and file metadata.

| Field | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| `file_id` | string | The file identifier |
| `filename` | string | Original filename |
| `mime_type` | string | File MIME type (e.g., `image/png`, `application/pdf`) |
| `file_size` | integer | File size in bytes |
| `download_url` | string | Signed download URL, valid for 1 hour |
