Note: Exporting files from Crowdin you’ll receive an Etag identifier in response header. Store this identifier so you can use it next time exporting files. Add Etag identifier to the If-None-Match request header to see whether any changes were applied to the file. In case the file was changed it would be downloaded. If not you’ll receive a 304 (Not Modified) status code. Parameters
