  C# - simplified

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient() { BaseAddress = new Uri("https://samate.nist.gov/services/BF") };
  
  //replace YOUR_USER_NAME and YOUR_KEY
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("user", YOUR_USER_NAME);
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("key", YOUR_KEY);
  
  var response = await BFClient.SendRequest("BFTaxonomy/ppt/_MEM/api", HttpMethod.Get);
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
  var zipData = await response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
  

  Python //to be added//
