Hi itsisaf,
If you have a shared file link, then you don't need any API to get its content. Just get it as you would do for any other link. Only additional thing you can care, if need, let link gets redirect before reaching final stage. In addition usually proper parameter for raw access is needed to be set (if not preset in the link - typically it's not). The same is valid for any type of file; proper content interpretation is entirely your responsibility.
If you have a shared folder link, you may need to use /2/files/list_folder[/continue] API points to list the content and reach to there. 😉 That's it.
Hope this helps.
