you can use below code.

$('#button').click(function (url)
{
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', url, true);
    xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', "Bearer " + token);
    xhr.onload = function(e) {
        alert('success')
        var file=e.target.files[0]; //you can get file this way.
    };
    xhr.send();
}););
