I'm going over the docs, and I'm a bit confused on the best api access method. My use case is very simple. There's an excel spreadsheet i need to download and parse once a week. Whats the best auth method for this? It looks to me like JWT is the best bet.

  Hello Forrest, 

  I would suggest using JWT - client credentials grant for your authentication method and you will need the download file endpoint. 

  Best,
