It is better not to use AJAX for downloading a file, just use normal URL for it.

Download file from enpoint API
I would like to download a file directly from the api function (backend).
I currently store my file on storage public then I return response()->download($myFilePath) but it doesn't trigger the download it returns a response in my console like a binary file.

@m.yanis Have you tried with Storage::download()?

@m.yanis see if you are using the wrong header. Do a search for the correct header to use.
