The input to the function civis.io.civis_file_to_table has to be Civis file objects that look like CSV files. Although this requirement is at least implicit due to kwargs like delimiter and headers for this function, it is not explicitly stated in the docstring for file_id or the docstring for the function in general:
Update the docstring so that this requirement is explicitly stated. A user just reported they were unable to use this function successfully, and it turned out their input to the function was some sort of JSON records.
