Getting Data In

Can we download a bundle using REST API and manipulate a bundle using REST call?

Friends, I'm playing with the Splunk REST API. I have a Splunk deployment server and one client(running a universal forwarder). I created a deployment app and this is the output in which I am trying to make a REST Call about the deployment app created.

My question is if you notice there is a bundle path "/opt/splunk/var/run/tmp/testing/_server_app_testing-1537306672.bundle"

Can we download the bundle using REST API and can I manipulate the bundle using REST call?
