Get Submission

Fetch a PDF job submission.

HTTP Request

GET https://api.docspring.com/api/v1/submissions/<SUBMISSION_ID>

Authentication

You must send an Authorization header with the value Basic followed by base 64 encoded token_id:token_secret.

For example: Authorization: Basic dG9rZW5faWQ6dG9rZW5fc2VjcmV0Cg==

See the Authentication documentation for more information.

Include Submission Data

The API response does not include any submission data by default. (This is because the data can be very large, and it can also contain sensitive information.)

If you do want to return the data that was submitted with your API request, you can use the include_data parameter. Either append the ?include_data=true query parameter to the URL, or send this as an option in the JSON payload.

All of our API client examples show how to use the include_data option, with the value set to false by default.

download_url

The download_url field in the API response is a temporary URL that you can use to download the PDF file. This URL will expire after 24 hours.

We also return a permanent_download_url property, which is a URL that will never expire. However, this URL requires authentication with an API token (unless you have set Submission Privacy to Public in your Template Settings.)

Example Response

The following example API response includes details about an AWS S3 integration (under actions.)
