Get original document
Returns a time-limited pre-signed URL to download the private document’s original file as uploaded (e.g. .eml, .pdf). When you GET the URL, the response is the raw file with appropriate Content-Type and Content-Disposition. Use this when you need the native format rather than the annotated JSON. The URL expires after 24 hours; request a new one if needed.
