Hosted Documents

As a paid add-on , DocRaptor can provide long-term, publicly-accessible hosting for your documents. We'll host the document on your behalf at a completely unbranded URL for as long as you want, or within the limits you specify.

To create a hosted document, simply set the hosted parameter to true when using the HTTP API, or use the hosted document method in of our language-specific libraries.

File Size Limit

Unlike regular documents, the output file size is limited to keep hosting affordable. Hosted documents output must be less than 100mb.

Removing a hosted document

By default, we'll permanently host the document, but you can define a download limit or expiration date when you create the document. You can also expire the document at any time through the API or your DocRaptor dashboard.

To remove a hosted document through the interface, visit your documents log, view the desired document, and click "expire this document".

To expire a document through the API, make an authenticated PATCH request to http://staging-api.docraptor.com/expire/{download_id}.json (or .xml) where {download_id} is the value provided in the original document request. The response will return a 200 status code to let you know that the document was successfully expired.

If DocRaptor encounters an error expiring your document, the response will return a 4XX HTTP status code and a key of errors will be set with an array of values corresponding to the reasons for the failure. An example of this is:

{
  "errors": [
    "[Invalid Action Error] Requested document cannot be expired."
  ]
}
