Hello,

I would like to download the binary of a document via the API to get a blob object.

Is this somehow possible? I cannot find the corresponding information using the API-explorer.

I know, that I can retrieve the field downloadURL, but using this requires to be logged in to Workfront.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Lars

That's what you have to do. You have to get the download url, and then download it with that url, and both of those require an API key or a session ID.

How can I get the file extension in the endpoint - /attask/api/v17.0/document/search?projectID=xxxxxxxxx&fields=folders,downloadURL . I tried adding fileType, but I'm getting below message.

"field 'fileType' is not available"
Could you please help?

The file Type parameter is on the version object, so if you include currentVersion:ext, that should give it to you.

Hey Chris,

This information has be quite useful, however curious how to navigate the Download URL call returning the HTML webpage vs. downloading the binary. The API Key authenticates, but does returns the HTML page. Any thoughts?

I am also having a problem downloading a document. I am providing an apiKey (I've tried in both $body and $header) in a CURL command through Powershell.

The $url variable contains something like this:
https://<mycompany>.my.workfront.com/internal/document/download?ID=abc123456def123456
$downloadResponse = Curl -Uri $url -Header $header -Body $body -OutFile $downloadPath

All I am getting back is a 4k file, starting with this:

Having the exact same error. If i open the provided URL in my browser it downloads just fine; but trying to do it programmatically produces an error.

Were you able to solve the issue?
