With the Amazon WorkDocs API [1] I can list folders and files, create and delete folders, upload and delete files. But it seems there is no way to download a file.

The GetDocument API [2] returns a JSON document which includes a 'DownloadUrl' element but it is always 'null'. Also this 'DownloadUrl' element is not exposed in the SDK. I'm using the C++ SDK.

Is this by design?

  • To get document's download url, have your tried [GetDocumentVersion](http://sdk.amazonaws.com/cpp/api/LATEST/class_aws_1_1_work_docs_1_1_work_docs_client.html#abe3df96168108059ab57535235ae9137).GetMetadata().GetSource(DocumentSourceType.ORIGINAL) ? – amitd Feb 02 '21 at 21:31
  • @amitd it has to explicitly request the source field otherwise it returns null. See the example shared by smac2020. – josuegomes Feb 03 '21 at 10:57

Here is an example of how to download a document from Amazon WorkDocs using the API. This example is implemented in Java; however, it shows you how to perform this task. As you see, an URL object plays a role in downloading the document.
