Snapshot downloads
Where the full-depth free data lives.
This is a pointer, not a proxy. The snapshot bundles are dated CSV files at permanent archive URLs, carrying full aggregate history since inception, composition membership and target weights, and the reconstitution chain-link arithmetic. They are published under their own license, which is not the same as this API’s terms.
Start from latestManifestUrl when automating.
