The status of the download package. Possible values are
PROCESSING: the request is being processed;

The requests to collection.downloadHTML should be made until the download package is generated. If the download package is already generated when the first request to collection.downloadHTML is made, the COMPLETE status will be returned.
resourceUrl
string
The url for the download package. The url will expire after one minute due to security reasons.
