Introduction

The attachments REST API is used by our viewer to get EML, MSG, and PDF Portfolio attachments for a document being viewed.

Available URLs

GET /ViewingSession/u{ViewingSessionID}/Attachments

Routes key: GetAttachments

This API returns a JSON list of attachment objects. If the return object list length has a zero count and no errors detected, there are no attachments. The status property of the list object indicates whether or not the list has been completed. If the list hasn't been completed, the request must be retried again. Each Attachment object in the list contains displayName and viewingSessionId property. The displayName can be used to label an href link on a web page and the link points to the viewingSessionId URL for the attachment.
