  title: Sketchfab Download API
  description: >
    Programmatic download of downloadable Sketchfab models in glTF, GLB, and
    USDZ formats. The endpoint returns short-lived signed URLs for each
    available format. The caller must be authenticated on behalf of an end
    user (OAuth Authorization Code or Implicit flow); application-level
    downloads without user authentication require a direct contract with
    Sketchfab. Source formats (FBX, OBJ) are not exposed.
