## Overview

The following sections will cover document retrieval from a loan in Blend through our Public API.

For instructions on loan data retrieval from Blend, please refer to the [Export a Home Loan](🔗) reference.

## Endpoints

Blend users access loan documents and application packages via the "Docs" tab of Blend's user interface. They can download individual documents or complete application packages. These `loans/id/documents` and `documents/documentId` endpoints allow your integration to perform the same actions programmatically.

`loans/id/documents` returns a list of available documents for a particular loan. `documents/documentsId` allow you to fetch an individual loan document.

  • `GET loans/id/documents` - Used to get a JSON object of all documents associated with a Blend loan

  • `GET documents/documentId` - Used to fetch a single document from a Blend loan by its ID

## 1. Get the list of documents associated with the loan

This request generates a list of documents associated with a Blend loan file. The action is similar to a user viewing the available documents in the "Docs" tab of the Blend user interface.

**Example request:**


**Example response:**

## Considerations for already downloaded documents:
In the GET loans/id/documents request, Blend will return a "losExportedAt" value. This "losExportedAt" value can be queried in your response since the endpoint will have one of the following values:
  • `null` - the document was never exported
  • `timestamp` - this will indicate when the document was last fetched
Example: `https://api.beta.blendlabs.com/loans/[LOANID]/documents?losExportedAt=null`
To further filter your results:
`losExportedAt=true`: only includes documents exported by any API user such as a Public API user or Encompass Partnership API user
`losExportedAt=false`: only includes documents exported by any basic auth user
## 2. Download a document file
This request will allow you to fetch a individual document by a single documentId value.
**Example request:**

**Response:**
The document file will be returned to your server.
