Download the document

Endpoint: GET /einvoicing/documents/:id/$download

Download a document. For details, see DownloadDocument.

When a document is available (status is Complete), you can download it in one or more media types (for example, application/xml or application/pdf). Specify the desired MIME type in the Accept header.

The available formats depend on the mandate. Use the GetMandates endpoint to retrieve the supported MIME types for each countryMandate.

For every countryMandate, the application/vnd.oasis.ubl+xml format (UBL) is available:

For outbound documents, this is the document submitted to ELR.
For inbound documents, this is the converted document returned by ELR.

If you pass an invalid Accept header value, the API returns a 406 error with a message that describes the supported values.

If the file isn’t yet available, the API returns a 404 Not Found response.
