Returns the raw file bytes for a document. The response is the file itself — the Content-Type header carries the document’s MIME type and Content-Disposition carries the original filename. This endpoint is typically used to retrieve PDFs referenced by document_ids on a referral. The ID passed in the URL is the same value that appears in the document_ids array on a referral object.

Path Parameters

id (string, required): The Cobalt document ID (UUID without dashes) as returned in document_ids on a referral.

Example Request

curl -X GET "https://api.usecobalt.com/v1/documents/b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5" \
  -H "client_id: your_client_id" \
  -H "client_secret: your_client_secret" \
  -H "access_token: your_access_token" \
  --output document.pdf

Response

On success, the response body is the raw file. Relevant headers:

Content-Type: The document’s MIME type (typically application/pdf).
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<original-filename>".
Content-Length: The file size in bytes.

On failure, the response is JSON:

{
    "success": false,
    "message": "Document not found"
}

Status Codes

200: Document returned successfully.
404: Document not found.

Notes

Access is scoped to your organization — only documents associated with your linked accounts are returned.
Documents are stored as they were received from the EMR. PDFs are returned unmodified.
