Retrieving Files
Introduction
The REST API endpoint GET /api/v2/document/{id}/file may be used to retrieve a file using the GUID of the file.
The GUID of the file may be already be known or it may be obtained via the document metadata search API GET /api/v2/document as described in the Assetic Knowledge Base article Document Metadata Search. Alternatively the document GUID may have been obtained as part of a larger process such as downloading files linked to a given work order. In that scenario the Assetic REST API endpoint GET /api/v2/workorder/{id} is first be used to get a list of documents associated with the work order.
