How can I receive media files? 

- Batch : When a job is done, the collector will deliver media files to your storage - collector cannot deliver files when delivery method is set to Email / API download

- Realtime : Same as batch setting, files will be delivered to your storage when collection is done. However, with realtime you can also use 'API download'. /get_result API will return result with file name and you can call /get_result API again with file name you received from previous call.
