      description: 'Show the SBOM of an upstream release in a given format

        * SPDX spec

        * CycloneDX spec


        To request an SBOM, both a file format and SBOM type must be specified.


        The file format can be specified in several ways:

        * using the `format` query parameter

        * using the `Accept` header

        * using a file extension on the route (e.g. sbom.json to request the JSON file format).


        The SBOM type can be specified using the `sbom_type` query parameter.


        Supported combinations:

        * `sbom_type=cyclonedx`, `format=xml`

        * `sbom_type=cyclonedx`, `format=json`

        * `sbom_type=spdx`, `format=spdx`

        * for SPDX, only specifying `format` is necessary, `sbom_type` can be inferred


        Older versions of the API supported an `sbom_format` query parameter (without specifying both `sbom_type` and

        format). The following mappings are provided to maintain backwards compatibility.

        * `sbom_format=cyclonedx` implies `sbom_type=cyclonedx` and `format=xml`

        * `sbom_format=spdx` implies `sbom_type=spdx` and `format=spdx`'
