Envelope Attachment Download

GET
/signatures/envelope/{envelopeId}/attachment/{attachmentId}/download

Downloads an attachment associated with an envelope, returned in its original format as uploaded. Genuinely supports TWO alternate, mutually exclusive auth contracts (intentional dual-mode design, not a bug): (1) anonymous mode — a Guid-parseable tid query parameter is present, and no Authorization header is required at all; the acting identity is resolved via the transaction token instead; or (2) authenticated mode — no valid tid is supplied, so a real Authorization bearer token IS required. Exactly one of {tid, Authorization} applies per call. Blob lookup uses a folder-per-envelope layout ({envelopeId}/{attachmentId}). An additional cross-type check guards against fetching an envelope-document/envelope-audit blob through this route; that extra check is skipped for the other two envelope container types.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

JWT token to authenticate the request.

In: header

X-Api-Key<token>

API key, sent as a request header.

In: header

Path Parameters

envelopeId*string

GUID of the envelope the attachment belongs to.

Formatuuid
attachmentId*string

GUID of the attachment to download.

Formatuuid

Query Parameters

tid?string

Transaction token identifying a specific recipient+envelope pair. When present and Guid-parseable, selects anonymous mode and no Authorization header is required. When absent or not Guid-parseable, authenticated mode applies and Authorization is required instead.
