Introduction

The viewing packages REST API allows your application to manage existing viewing packages.

To create a new viewing package, use the viewing package creators REST API or provide a documentId when creating a viewing session.

Available URLs

GET /v2/viewingPackages/{documentId}

Gets info about a viewing package.

Request

Request Headers

After a viewing package creator process has been created, information about the converted content can be requested as shown in the example below:

Example

GET pas_base_url/v2/viewingPackages/unT67Fxekm8lk1p0kPnyg8

Successful Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "source": {
        "type": "document",
        "fileName": "sample.doc",
        "documentId": "unT67Fxekm8lk1p0kPnyg8"
    },
    "state": "complete",
    "packageExpirationDateTime": "2016-1-09T06:22:18.624Z",
    "pageFailures": [
        {
            "errorCode": "CouldNotRetrieveJpegContent",
            "pageNumber": "4"
        },
        {
            "errorCode": "CouldNotRetrieveSvgaContent",
            "pageNumber": "5"
        }
    ]
}

Error Responses

If you are self-hosting PAS and a GET request does not include the correct Accusoft-Secret header value, you will receive an error like the one below. See PAS Configuration for more info about configuring your PAS secretKey.

HTTP/1.1 403 InvalidSecret
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "errorCode": "InvalidSecret"
}

GET /v2/viewingPackages/{documentId}/creator

Gets the processId of the viewingPackageCreator which created this viewing package if it still exists.

This URL is useful when you create a viewing session with a documentId (allowing PAS to automatically start a viewingPackageCreator for you in the background if no viewing package exists yet) and you want to check the status of the viewingPackageCreator which PAS may have created on your behalf. After creating a viewing session with a documentId, you can use this URL to see if any associated viewingPackageCreator exists. If it does, you can then use the returned viewingPackageCreatorId to GET more info about the status of the viewingPackageCreator that PAS started for you.
