Hi all,

I have a use case where I need to programmatically download both the .bam and it's index file to run IGV outside of Galaxy, but have not found a straightforward way to do so.

It seems that Galaxy always generates this .bai file under the hood, and I can download it manually by clicking the “save” icon on the dataset in my history. Although, the application I am coding for relies on the bioblend Python library.

In bioblend I see a field returned upon a `DatasetClient(<galaxy_instance>).show_dataset(<dataset_id>)` but that is as far as I've got:

"meta_files": [

        {

            "file_type": "bam_index"

        }

    ],
