Download a file
Downloading by ID
There are two options available to download a specific file by ID, a shorter URL and a longer URL, both with the same outcome. By default, the file download will use a mirror that is closest geographically based on the IP the request comes from. In case there is a broken mirror, one can force a specific mirror based on a mirror-id which can be retrieved via the REST API provided to list all mirrors.
The long URL:
URL Endpoint: https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/<str:product-id>/<str:point-release_id>/<int:file-id>
Sample URL: https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/mariadb/10.5.4/10809
HTTP Request Type: GET
URL GET Parameters: mirror=<str:mirror-id> (optional, choose specific mirror to download from)
The short URL:
URL Endpoint: https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/<int:file-id>
Sample URL: https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/10809
HTTP Request Type: GET
URL GET Parameters: mirror=<str:mirror-id> (optional, choose specific mirror to download from)
Downloading by file name
Instead of using the file id, one can use the file name. This feature is provided to allow for human readability of HTTP requests. Instead of a number, it is very clear which file is downloaded, just by reading the URL. The optional GET parameter functions the same as for the download by ID case.
URL Endpoint: https://downloads.mariadb.org/rest-api/<str:product-id>/<str:point-release_id>/<str:file-name>
