HTTP API
Download Generated Reports
HTTP API to download a generated document using its renderId
Download the generated report
Download a generated document using a unique renderId. This renderId is obtained from a successful call to the POST /render/{templateId-or-versionId} endpoint. The retrieved document is provided as a file stream, which can be directly downloaded or viewed.
The command downloads the generated report into the file "FILENAME.pdf".
If an error occurs (status 4XX or 5XX), the error is also saved into the file. Each renderId can be downloaded only one time.
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.carbone.io/render/{renderId}' \
--header 'carbone-version: 5' \
--output 'FILENAME.pdf'
Response header
The Content-Disposition can be changed to attachment; if the query parameter ?download=true is added when calling the endpoint.
The Authorization and Carbone-Version headers are not required for this API endpoint.

}
