Get a generation
Fetch one generation result by the id the listing returns.
One library item, when you already hold its id from
List generations. The same rules apply as on a page:
renderable media only, and the URLs are signed with a 7-day TTL, so re-fetch
rather than storing one.

}This fetch reads your own generations: on a team account it is pinned to yours,
and reading other members' work is the listing's scope=all question, gated by
the same permission there.
Errors
Status codes
401TOKEN_INVALID- Missing or invalid credential.
404LIBRARY_ITEM_NOT_FOUND- No such item, or not one this credential can see. A malformed id, somebody else's item, and a withheld result type all read the same, deliberately: an id must not be probeable for whether it exists.
429RATE_LIMITED- Too many requests. See Rate limits.
