Download a specific file from a BioModels entry or get the download URL for the entire model as a COMBINE archive. Returns download URL and file metadata. Use this to access model files for simulation software (COPASI, CellDesigner, etc.). Specify filename parameter to download a specific file, or omit to get the COMBINE archive containing all files. Find model IDs using biomodels_search.
