<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’m a curl novice too, but your last example should work to output a single EAD file to the current directory. The only thing I see is that in your example you
have a single quote to begin the URL and a double quote to end it. Maybe change the double quote at the very end to a single quote, or make both double quotes?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with the API. This could supplement the existing API documentation at: <a href="http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/doc/file.API.html">
