This method lets you download all the files of an order. This includes both the original files as well as any translations or reference material.
All files will are added to a single ZIP archive. The ZIP maintains the exact folder structure as it also appears in the order.
The method supports up to 2000 files. If an order contains more than that amount of files, an error message will be returned.
URL
(POST) /api/orders/{orderid}/files/all/zip
PARAMETERS
The URL parameters are:
orderid | The order ID. Tip: See orders/list for enumerating or finding orders and getting an order’s numeric ID. To find orders with reference starting with “abc”, use this BODY in orders/list: { "query": "{reference}.Matches(\"abc\", \"prefix\")" }
| int, Mandatory |
The (optional) body is a JSON object with these properties:
| Optional. Lets you define regular expressions to exclude files / folders from the ZIP archive. Example: {
"excludeNames": [
"^Reference folder",
"\\.zip$"
]
}
The first pattern excludes any file paths starting with “Reference folder” (the ^ character is important here). This specifically excludes any files contained in the folder. The second pattern excludes any .zip files in the order (at the root or in any subfolder). Note that in JSON you must escape the backslash character. | string[]?, Optional |
| Optional. Lets you define regular expressions to only include files / folders that match at least one of the patterns. Example: {
"includeNames": [
"\\.doc$",
"\\.docx$",
]
}
The ZIP archive will only contain Microsoft Word documents. | string[]?, Optional |
callbackurl | Optional URL which will be called upon success or failure of operation. This makes polling for results (see below) unnecessary. URL is called as POST request with operation result included in the body, see "RESULTS" chapter below for the JSON format. Suggestion: Include your own references in the URL, example: http://callmeback.mycompany.com?operationid=22222&mydata=abcde | string?, Optional |
RESULTS
The API method returns an Asynchronous operation result:
{
"trm": {
"requestid":32230,
"status":"Waiting",
"statusText":"Waiting..."
}
}
You can poll the status or use the callback parameter. When the operation is complete, the results are in the custom property:
{
"trm": {
"requestid": 32230,
"isbatch": false,
"status": "Finished",
"statusText": "Finished!"
},
"custom": {
"filetoken": "178eee3996bd4898b31da69a4fe5b206",
"count": 6
}
}
The custom property is a JSON object:
filetoken | The token to download the ZIP file. | string |
count | Total files in ZIP archive. | int |
If the operation fails then status is “Failed” and statusText contains the error description.
FOLDER NAMES
When downloading files, the folder hierarchy shown in the order will be maintained in the ZIP archive. The folder names will be identical.
However, there is one exception to this rule. When the “Reference material” folder was automatically created at one point in a process, then it will be named in a very specific way in the ZIP:
___ref___
If this folder was created “by hand” in the order then it will be named exactly as displayed.
ACCESS RIGHTS
An order can only be accessed by an authorized user:
The person (client) who submitted the order.
A manager at the client and who can access any order submitted by a client user.
An internal manager.
The administrator.
