This is something I've been mulling for a while. It's clearly not critical, but with the enhancement request for clubs by club_id and players by player_id, I'll send in the enhancement request and worst is I hear "No." Or "Well, probably not and we think it's low priority."
Now and then someone provides a URL for one or more games. To get the PGN for that game or games, go to the website, select download and then in the pop-up select and copy or download according to preference.
It would be "hands free" to download a game by ID/UUID.
My first choice I think would be to get the full JSON for the game (programatically it's easy enough to ignore everything but the PGN if that is all that is wanted) and second choice to receive only the PGN.
We discussed this request some time ago, and I don't think it will be done in the near/mid future. So you will have to rely on other endpoints to get a game details.
