createSignedUrl

Overview

This method can be used for generating a signed URL for a file, allowing anyone with the URL to download the file as if they were logged in to your account. This can be useful if you've created a website where users are accessing Redivis through a proxy, where you want them to be able to download certain files without being logged in to Redivis.

Note that signed URLs can provide unauthenticated access to potentially restricted resources, and care should be taken such that they are only provided to their intended recipients.

This endpoint is only intended for advanced use cases, where the security implications of signed URLs are fully understood.
