How to get CRX file of a published in Microsoft Edge Web Store (Chromium Based)

Question

My extension was published on the new Microsoft Edge Store. I want the CRX file of that extension. How to get that?

I don't want to use the 'pack extension' present in the browser as the CRX created like this gives security errors.

I'm not familiar with the Edge developer dashboard, but CRX files for Edge can be downloaded via:

https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3D[EXTENSIONID]%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc

Where [EXTENSIONID] must be replaced with the extension ID, found in the URL of the Edge extension store.

Here is an example:

https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/boomerang-soap-rest-c/bhmdjpobkcdcompmlhiigoidknlgghfo

Has its CRX available via:

https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3Dbhmdjpobkcdcompmlhiigoidknlgghfo%26installsource%3Dondemand%26uc
