}Download raw content from Google Drive asynchronously
Download a raw binary file from Google Drive without any connector-side conversion. The returned payload is the original file bytes as stored in Drive (Docs/Sheets/Slides are exported as their native binary equivalents when applicable).
Use this when you need the source artefact intact (e.g. PDF, DOCX, image, video). Google Drive is a binary-file connector — there is no XLIFF or raw-to-XLIFF conversion endpoint.
Choosing sync vs async
/sync/download-raw-fileblocks until the connector finishes. Use for small files and interactive callers. Subject to gateway timeouts (~60 s)./async/download-raw-filereturns immediately with arequestIdand posts the result to the URL inX-Webhookwhen ready. Required for large files.
Response shape (sync only) is controlled by X-ResponseType:
ID(default) — JSON{ "storageId": "..." }. The caller fetches the content from Phrase file storage later. Recommended for any non-trivial payload.OBJECT— rawapplication/octet-stream. Faster for small payloads; the stream may be proxied directly from Drive with upstreamContent-Type,Content-Disposition, andContent-Lengthheaders preserved when available.
Async variant. Returns immediately with { requestId, webHookUrl }. The download result is POSTed to the URL supplied in X-Webhook.

}Authorizations
IDM-issued JWT. Obtain via the IDM authentication flow and pass as: Bearer
Headers
A logging ID of the request. It is propagated through Phrase systems, making it easier to connect logs from various services. If no ActionId is sent with a request, one will be generated by Bifrost and returned with the response.
Specify if the response should contain the processed object itself in an application/octet-stream body, or a application/json body with an ID that can be then used to retrieve the object using a /load-content endpoint. Note that for larger files (> 1 MB), it is advised to use the ID option which is also default.
Required on /async/... endpoints. Bifrost POSTs the operation result to this URL once the connector finishes processing.
Omitting this header on an async endpoint returns 400.
Body
Request payload for downloading a raw file from Google Drive through the connector.
Clients authenticate by referencing a stored connector via connectorUuid. The path describes which file or location to download from.
UUID of a configured connector that holds stored Google Drive credentials.
"b9c06f76-4a44-4d2e-8a26-3d1e4b47e123"
Connector configuration for the Google Drive connector.
Currently no configuration options are exposed. The object is reserved for future configuration flags while keeping the API contract stable.
{}
Polymorphic description of a Google Drive location used by connector operations.
The pathType discriminator selects the concrete shape:
- ROOT - connector entry listing available spaces
- SHARED_DRIVES_ROOT - virtual root listing shared drives
- FOLDER - real folder or drive root
- FILE - real file under a folder
- Option 1
- Option 2
- Option 3
- Option 4

Locale code associated with the file content, if applicable. Optional. Use a BCP 47 or Phrase locale code (for example, "en", "de", "cs").
"en"
Response
Successful operation. If X-ResponseType is set to 'ID' or no value is sent in the header, the file is saved and can be retrieved by sending a GET request to this endpoint. If X-ResponseType is set to 'OBJECT', the file is returned as a stream.
