Download Large Event Log Files Using cURL with REST

You might have some event log files that are larger than your tool can handle. A command line tool such as cURL is one method to download files larger than 100 MB using the SObject Blob Retrieve object.

Example: Use the “X-PrettyPrint” header and the “-o” flag to output large files to .csv formats

This command downloads a file onto your machine into your downloads folder.
