You can find this in System Activity history explore. Assume you have a Look slug in, say, a download page like this: https://instance.looker.com/looks/mNKz7MjnndQrCKFwWP8V2Q4H8gZ57R4p.csv

This is the system activity URL you'll want to use on your instance.

https://instance.looker.com/explore/system__activity/history?fields=look.link,look.public_slug&f[look.public]=Yes&sorts=look.link&limit=500&column_limit=50&vis=%7B%7D&filter_config=%7B%22look.public%22%3A%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22is%22%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%7B%22constant%22%3A%22Yes%22%7D%2C%7B%7D%5D%2C%22id%22%3A0%2C%22error%22%3Afalse%7D%5D%7D&origin=share-expanded

Then add a filter on the Public Slug, which is the part that comes before the file extension and after the /looks/. (in this example it's mNKz7MjnndQrCKFwWP8V2Q4H8gZ57R4p )
