This is mentioned under "Backward Incompatible Changes" at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases/tag/v6.10 and https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.10/api/changelog.html#v6-10 but to reemphasize it here, when you upgrade to Dataverse 6.10 or higher, there is the potential for API users to see an error like this:

You may not download this file without the required Guestbook response for guestbookID {id}.

As explained at the links above, the solution is to provide a Guestbook response (as JSON).
