Dike

PDF proxy

Fetch the original scanned PDF backing an indexed document.

GET /pdf/{container}/{file}

Proxies the original PDF from blob storage — no API key required, this route is unauthenticated and IP-rate-limited instead (30 req/min).

container and file are validated server-side: container must be alphanumeric (plus -/_); file must be alphanumeric (plus -/_) and end in .pdf. Values outside that shape are rejected before any lookup happens, not passed through to storage.

curl https://api.dike.it.com/pdf/legislation/eg-leg-151912.pdf -o eg-leg-151912.pdf

The container/file pair for a given document isn't returned by /v1/search or /v1/document today — construct it from the document's canonical_id and known container name, or treat this endpoint as best-effort until a source field is exposed on those responses.

Errors

  • 404 not_found — file doesn't exist in storage
  • 422 validation_error — container/file failed the shape check above
