I couldn't tell from the docs, but is it possible (or will it be possible) to generate a single use download URL to return to clients? I wouldn't want to have to pay double for outbound traffic going from B2 -> my server -> client.

Yev from Backblaze here -> Yes, you could get a URL and give it to somebody. Every time that person accesses it though, there'd be a charge (unless you're within our free parameters). If I understand correctly...
Thanks Yev, is it possible to have the URL auto expire after a time period or number of accesses?
We heavily use this feature on S3, and I would hope B2 does/will support it
