Download or export Fusion files via API

Hi all.

As long as I know, there's no way to download Fusion files (.f3d .f3z) via API. The reason is explained  by @BrianEkins here:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/ability-to-save-f2d-files-drawings-to-disk...

I have a project in which I store a library of my reusable designs, organized in folders, subfolders, etc. I'd like to be able to download the whole content of the project as a sort of backup or database to be shared as an independent copy to other users. None of the fusion documents in this library project refeers to other documents in the same or other projects. I can't share the project via Fusion Hub with those other users because they wouldn't get an independent copy.

Any alternative walkaround or idea about this?

Thanks in advance.

You can actually download f3d files using the API, just not f2d files. There are a few plugins people have made to accomplish this.

Thanks a lot @jordan783ZS !!!

It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's a great starting point for my needs. That's been pretty helpful.

I just don't know HOW to download things.
