# hires_download_attachment

Download an attachment (resume, candidate file, application file, mail attachment, call recording). Pass the absolute URL returned by another endpoint (e.g. message.attachments[].url, cv.url, resume.url) — it MUST belong to the configured 100Hires API host; other hosts are rejected to avoid leaking the Bearer token. Returns {file_name, mime_type, size, data} where data is base64-encoded bytes. Files larger than 25 MB are rejected up-front (Content-Length check / streaming abort) without being loaded into memory.
