Question:

The Veeva Vault API provides programmatic access to Vault information and functionality using a simple, powerful, and secure application programming interface. How can Vault's Rendition Documents be retrieved by using Vault API from Third Party Applications?

Answer:

Download a rendition (file) from the latest version of a document.

• Request

         Send GET to /api/{version}/objects/documents/{document_id}/renditions/{rendition_type}

• Headers

         Response Accept - JSON application/json (default) or XML application/xml

• Parameters

        {document_id} - The document id field value.
        {rendition_type} - The document rendition type.

• Options

         /api/{version}/objects/documents/{document_id}/renditions/{rendition_type}?steadyState=true 
         Download a rendition (file) from the latest steady state version (1.0, 2.0, etc.) of a document.

• Example

         $ curl -X GET -H "Authorization: {SESSION_ID}" \

         https://myvault.veevavault.com/api/v15.0/objects/documents/534/renditions/viewable_rendition__v > file

• Response

        {

          "responseStatus": "SUCCESS"

        }

On SUCCESS, Vault retrieves the file associated with the given renditions type for the document.

The HTTP Response Header Content-Type is set to Application/octet-stream.  

Thank you
