The URL I have posted above works..I had given wrong input for source provider. It should have been TfsGit.

It should be in this format https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/sourceProviders/{providerName}/filecontents?api-version=5.0-preview.1
Service endpoint should be TFGit as per the documentation here

Also found this is working, in case you just need file contents dev.azure.com{{Organization}}/{{ProjectName}//_apis/git/repositories/{{RepoName}}/items?versionDescriptor.version={{BranchName}}&path={{FilePathwithName}}&api-version=5.0 It downloads the content, we need to pipe that to output file or any object based on your programming language.

What exactly is {providerName}?

@Mik Provider is the version control service. In my case it is "tfsGit" example: dev.azure.com/MyOrganization/MyProject/_apis/sourceProviders/…
