## Response

* **302 redirect** – Videos stored in Cloudflare Stream (or other providers with playback URLs) redirect to the playback URL (`hls`, `dash`, or `primary`).
* **200 OK** – For assets stored in R2 or Cloudflare Images, the API streams the binary file with `Content-Disposition: attachment`.

<Note>Files in `status: deleting` or `deleted` return `404`. Respect the redirect URL’s authentication model (Stream URLs expire if you configured signed delivery).</Note>
