Get invoice PDF via API

Posted on by Andrew1986 63
Hi Team,

I am going to receive invoice PDF via API from Business Central, but BC returns the error message.
I use the cloud version of Business Central.

Example of the request:

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/api/v2.0/companies(111e9e8a-5177-ee11-817e-6045bdc893e2)/salesInvoices(f57ff210-c5af-ee11-a568-000d3a0b28bf)/pdfDocument/pdfDocumentContent

Response:
 
{
    /error/: {
        /code/: /RequestDataInvalid/,
        /message/: /Request data is invalid./
    }
}

What is the reason of this issue and how to fix it?


Also, I added web services:

    Hi, an attachment in the Business Central standard API is defined as an Incoming Document (table 130), not Document Attachment (table 1173).
    I have used this standard API in Power Automate and hope it can give you some tips.
    How to automatically upload files from OneDrive to Business Central with Power Automate (No customization)
     
     
    Thanks.

    I used this documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/api/dynamics_salesquote_pdfdocument

    So, my request is

    https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/api/v2.0/companies(111e9e8a-5177-ee11-817e-6045bdc893e2)/salesInvoices(f57ff210-c5af-ee11-a568-000d3a0b28bf)/pdfDocument

    But Business Central returns that the request is invalid.
     
    {
        "error": {
            "code": "RequestDataInvalid",
            "message": "Request data is invalid."
        }
    }


    what is the reason of the issue and how I should fix it?
