Ask for downloadable link? Including any authorization header or any
other required security mechanism, if needed.

If my hint wasn't clear enough:

Personally, I think with HTTPS an API key in custom header is both
easy and safe enough because:
you can't sniff HTTPS trafficeven if you know the custom header key,
as long as you generate the value in a kind of random way and it's
long enough (e.g. 256 chars of all printable characters) such that
it's nearly impossible to guess until the world ends, attacker won't
get it
