How do you specify the revision in the path for a Dropbox API "download" request?

The documentation for the Dropbox API download request, which I found here states the following:

rev deprecated String(min_length=9, pattern="[0-9a-f]+")? Field is deprecated. Please specify revision in path instead. This field is optional.

However, I've been unable to find any documentation of what the path with a revision looks like.

Even the Dropbox API Explorer for download shows rev as a parameter for the API request.

Does anyone know how you actually construct a path for the download request, of the Dropbox API that contains the revision?

The 'rev' parameter is deprecated in favor of supplying the rev value in the 'path' parameter instead, as you pointed out. The 'path' parameter supports:

path String(pattern="(/(.|[\r\n])*|id:.*)|(rev:[0-9a-f]{9,})|(ns:[0-9]+(/.*)?)")

Specifically, you would supply a value like rev:abcd1234 where 'abcd1234' is the rev you want to download.

That would look like this in the API v2 Explorer, for example: Example of using the 'rev:' path format in the Dropbox API v2 Explorer
