/zip_downloads/:zip_download_id/status

Returns the download status of a zip archive, allowing an application to inspect the progress of the download as well as the number of items that might have been skipped.

This endpoint can only be accessed once the download has started. Subsequently this endpoint is valid for 12 hours from the start of the download.

The URL of this endpoint should not be considered as fixed. Instead, use the Create zip download API to request to create a zip archive, and then follow the status_url field in the response to this endpoint.
