# Download an object

`GET /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/buckets/{bucketId}/objects/{keyToken}/content`

Returns the bytes of one object version as they are stored, with the same headers as an S3 GetObject: Content-Type, ETag, x-amz-version-id, and x-amz-meta-<key> for its metadata. One byte range returns 206. A met If-None-Match returns 304 with no body. Get object metadata returns the same fields as JSON. Role: viewer or higher.

## Query parameters
