# Get Raw File Data from Object

GET https://api.athenaintel.com/api/v0/tools/file/raw-data

Stream an asset's raw file data. Prefer GET /api/v0/assets/\{asset\_id}/download for downloads: it converts native collaborative assets to their canonical Office format (documents to .docx, spreadsheets to .xlsx, presentations to .pptx), prefers original over converted bytes, sets a Content-Disposition filename, and fails with an HTTP error instead of degrading to a text summary of the asset.
