Represents a downloadable file (blob) regarding the export.
URI
/api/v9/applications/ID/exports/ID/blobs/blobGET Retrieve a downloadable file
Retrieve the blob (Binary Large OBject) that constitutes the actually exported data. This might be, for example, an exported PDF study contract.
This request is different in the sense that currently blob IDs are not integers (as per normal convention), but rather a unique string of potentially varying length. This may change at a future date.
