Hi all,
I am trying to load annotations through the CVAT low-level python SDK (v2.3.0). However, if I specify a format (I tried COCO 1.0, MOT 1.1, among others) then I only get a 202 with reason 'Accepted', but no data. However, when I do not specify a format I do get data in the response.

The API call I am making in Python looks like:

from cvat_sdk.api_client import ApiClient, Configuration
configuration = Configuration(
        host = host,
        username = user,
        password = pw
    )

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    (_, response) = api_client.jobs_api.retrieve_annotations(
            job_id,
            action='download',
            format='COCO 1.0', # or 'MOT 1.1'
            _parse_response=False
     )
    print(response.data)

Anyone any idea what could be at the source of this?
