The following request returns GPKG, GeoJSON or CSV file from vector layer:

GET /api/resource/(int: id)/export?format=GPKG&srs=4326&zipped=True&fid=ngw_id&encoding=UTF-8

Example request: https://sandbox.nextgis.com/api/resource/4308/export?format=GPKG&srs=4326&zipped=False&fid=ngw_id&encoding=UTF-8
