Retrieving Bulk Data

The "ticket" given to you when you store Bulk Data is an HTTPS GET URL.

For most modern languages and HTTP libraries, accessing a Bulk Data Storage object is as simple as performing an HTTPS GET request using this URL. These languages and libraries (such as Python's requests library) will automatically detect the Content-Encoding and decompress the downloaded object for you.

However, if you are using a lower-level library or a tool (that does not automatically request a compressed transfer and then decompress the result), you will have to examine the header and perform the decompression yourself.

All Bulk Data Storage objects are compressed with either gzip or deflate. Which compression algorithm is used is determined by the object creator.
