## Parameters
| `token` | string | Yes | - | Session token from `login` or `createToken`. |

## Response Fields
The response is **not JSON**. It is a downloadable text file with:
- `Content-Type: text/plain`
- `Content-Disposition: attachment`
The body contains the zone file in RFC 1035 format.
## Conditional Logic Notes
- None.
## Edge Cases
- Unlike most API calls, this endpoint returns a raw text file, not a JSON response. Callers must handle the different content type.
- The response includes `Content-Disposition: attachment` header, indicating it is meant for download.
