Thank you for reaching out to us.

Yes, you can use the Tick History REST API to download files by using ExtractedFileId with the following endpoint.

For more information, please refer to the following article and tutorial.

This endpoint is used to retrieve an extracted file.

Howeer, some applications and libraries can automatically decompress the gz file and the appliation will see the content in the gz file. You need to disable this feature in the library that you are using to get a file.

For example, Postman will show the CSV content instead of the gz file.
