Retrieve a community file awaiting approval 

To retrieve a community file that is waiting to be approved, use the link element found in the file entry.

You can use this operation to obtain file entry information that you want to preserve prior to performing an update. See Update a community file awaiting approval for more information. This method returns the Atom entry of a single file entry as opposed to a feed of all the files.

See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.

To retrieve a community file that is awaiting approval...
