GET /api/pdf/:document-id.json

Returns the url of the PDF for the specified document. This is an asynchronous operation, which means the PDF file may not be ready immediately.

Example Request

curl

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://account_name.app.invoicexpress.com/api/pdf/:document-id.json?second_copy=false&api_key=YOUR%20API%20KEY%20HERE' \
  --header 'accept: application/json'

require 'net/http'

url = URI("https://account_name.app.invoicexpress.com/api/pdf/:document-id.json?second_copy=false&api_key=YOUR%20API%20KEY%20HERE")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = 'application/json'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
