Overview

When using the experimental Usage API, you may notice that the download_URL generated seems to return an invalid error when copied into a browser. This article will explain a method to convert that URL into something useable.

Why Is This Happening?

The generate URL gets additional '&' unicode values added between URL parameters which cause an error.

How Do I Fix This?

After making the API call to generate the URL, take the URL and run it with the following command, replacing "download_url" with your URL:

echo -e "download_url"
