<ParamField body="name" type="string" required>
  A label for this operation, shown in [List bulk operations](/api-reference/management-api/bulk-operation/list).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="qr_id_list" type="array">
  Specific QR ids to download. Alternatively use `filter`, `search`, or `bulk_op_id`.
</ParamField>

  A saved filter selecting which QR Codes to download, as an alternative to `qr_id_list`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="search" type="string">

</ParamField>

<ParamField body="bulk_op_id" type="string">
  An existing bulk operation's `operation_id` — re-download the QR Codes that operation generated, as an alternative to selecting by id/filter/search.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="result_file_format" type="string">
  The download format, e.g. `zip`, `csv`, `xlsx`.

<ParamField body="result_file_size" type="string">

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.scanova.io/bulk-operation/download/" \
    -H "Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a" \

      "qr_id_list": ["a1b2c3d4", "e5f6g7h8"],
      "result_file_format": "zip"
    }'
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json 200 theme={null}
  {
    "operation_id": "bo-dl-001",
    "message": ["Your file is being processed. We'll email you once it's ready."]
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

Asynchronous — poll [List bulk operations](/api-reference/management-api/bulk-operation/list) for `status`/`progress`, then fetch `result_file`. `400` if no QR Codes match the given selection.

      description: >-
        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
