Does Downloading a File Attachment count as an API Call?

Hello, 
I read a method of download files on QuickBase here: https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/index.html?#filemanagement.html

I was wondering if a Javascript GET request to a file attachment such as  

$.GET({   URL: "http://amacsam.quickbase.comup/df2j5sdf/a/r170/e6/v0",    ticket: "7_sdfhsjk2234jhdf_sjdfhj3h4_skfhsdkjfh_sdfhsdf",   ...    })

would count as an API Call? 


QuickBase allows 2,000 API calls a day, I have over 6,000 + files I need to download from QuickBase, would this GET request count as an API call? 


thank you ,
Paul
