Documentation wrongly states all downloads are JSON - section should mention it discusses "details" endpoint #926

If I'm not misunderstanding something, this statement is incorrect with regards to (at least) sequences which by default come as FASTA

In fact, JSON isn't even accepted for sequences it seems. So this section should say that it applies to the "details" endpoint and not to sequences

Thanks for pointing this out! It applies to all endpoints except the sequence endpoints (i.e., JSON is also the default for aggregated and the mutation endpoints).

Offering JSON and TSV sequence outputs would be useful actually - as one doesn't need to parse FASTA, one can use standard tools like jq/tsv-utils directly! Maybe I should make a separate issue :)
