Mesh Export
Download API definition:
This API is a Technical Preview and is available for testing purposes only. Do not use in production.
GET https://api.bentley.com/mesh-export/{id}[?cdn]

Retrieves the information for a single export using its exportId.

Important: Although this method has not been officially deprecated yet, get-exports is the recommended method to obtain the list of exports and access to the tiles.

We strongly recommend discontinuing the use of get-export, as we will remove it during the transition from Tech Preview to General Availability.
