#' Get Data From A Databrary Volume
#'
#' @param vol_id Volume ID.
#' @param vb A logical value. Show verbose messages.
#' @param rq An `httr2` request object. If NULL (the default), a new request
#' is generated using `make_default_request()`. To access restricted data,
#' the user must login with a specific request object using `login_db()`.
#'
#' @returns A JSON blob with the volume data. If the user has previously logged
#' in to Databrary via `login_db()`, then volume(s) that have restricted access
#' can be downloaded, subject to the sharing release levels on those volume(s).
