puts response.read_body""""Download raw content from Google Drive synchronously
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.
Response shape (this endpoint) is controlled by the X-ResponseType request header:
ID: returns JSON with astorageIdreferencing file storage (application/json)OBJECT: returns a binary stream (application/octet-stream). Two variants:- Streaming: proxied stream from the connector; status and headers (
Content-Type,Content-Disposition,Content-Length) may come from upstream when present. - File storage: Bifrost downloads from storage (single file or zip of multiple files) and returns
application/octet-streamwithContent-Disposition: attachment; filename="<actionId>".
- Streaming: proxied stream from the connector; status and headers (

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. (ID => JSON with storageId, OBJECT => binary stream).
ID, OBJECT 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.
