  title: Sketchfab Download O Embed 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.
