How do you download cache files generated by hugging face private spaces using https (curl), like this one: .hf.space/gradio\_api/file=/tmp/gradio/340b12077fb6e4316df4d6decf6867f6ea20972b15dd986aa635ac5ffc176830/audio.mp3?

It is very difficult to access HF’s private space from the outside except through a browser or a client posing as a browser.  
It is basically impossible.  
If you just want to get the data, you can create a private model repo or dataset repo, upload the cached data from Spaces to it, and download it from curl with a token in the header.  
You can upload as much as you want, up to 300GB per repo.
