Download a PDF invoice

  1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

    The following variables should be available now:

    >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
    '<the Acronis data center URL>/api/advanced-automation/v1'
    >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
    {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
    >>> tenant_id # the ID of the partner tenant that can be accessed with the token
    'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
    
  2. Fetch an invoice ID as described in Fetch a list of invoices and assign it to the id variable:

    >>> id = "e96e60a2-3fec-44f7-86b7-050a8103b431"
    
  3. Define a variable named params, and then assign an object with the parameters for the request to this variable:

    >>> params = {
    ...     "id": id
    ... }
    
  4. Send a GET request to the /DownloadInvoice endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.get(f'{base_url}/DownloadInvoice', headers=auth, params=params)
    
  5. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    200
    

    Status code 200 means that the request was successful and a stream with the resulting PDF invoice is returned.
