  {
    "id":"1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy",
    "sender":"user@example.com",
    "recipients":["recipient@customer.com"],
    "ccs":[],

    "subject":"test subject",
    "message":"Test Message",
    "attachments":[
      {
        "id":"JUE1PlqlT0CpI1VX4UbGnx",
        "filename":"intro_movie.mp4",
        "size":2097152,
        "content_type":"video/mp4",

      }
    ]

In this example, there's one available attachment. Using the URL, you can download the file. Again, using curl:

curl -s -X GET --user "$api_key:x" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://test.host/message/1p4EHkeNzM5b2qO7kyNEIy/ZfYoatTMcYQLX0qUutOate/A3ohjLyybRyFMj9x65KbzE/secret_image.jpg

Please note that the URL is a one time URL and it will expire after the file has been downloaded. It's not possible to link to individual files without viewing the message.
