Introduction
To obtain the payload of a specific document, the Thinksurance Public API V1, denoted as "the API," offers a specialised endpoint. This endpoint allows consumers to retrieve a document by its identifier (hash) and acquire its complete payload as a base64-encoded data.
Endpoint
To access the specific document, consumers must initiate an HTTP POST request to the /api/ipn/documents/{:documentId} endpoint. The documentId parameter represents an unique identifier of the document in question. As essential components of the JSON payload within the body of the request, consumers are required to include the bToken (functioning as the broker identifier).
