Instead of raw ‘fetch’, use the helper plugin…

import { getFetchClient } from '@strapi/helper-plugin';
import pluginId from '../../pluginId';

const handleDownload = async () => {
  try {
    const { get } = getFetchClient();
    const response = await get(`/${pluginId}/export`);
    // File downloaded successfully - use response.data
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error scenario
  }
};

The helper plugin will automate adding the necessary bearer token for the user’s admin session. I don’t know how you would acquire that from the strapi instance object but you could always look at the helper plugin code if you prefer to roll your own ‘fetch’.
