Asset not found

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Hello, I am trying to go through document generation

I have generated link to upload an asset 



I have uploaded asset here


I try to verify if asset is saved, but I get not found:



Also, I get asset not found when trying to generate doc with newly created asset



What could be the problem?

[Raymond Camden]

It looks like you tried to get the asset ID, not the uploadURI. At least from what I see in your screenshot. 

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Thanks for your response Raymond. Still not sure what you meant. I am following the documentation.

Could you explain further please?

[Raymond Camden]

When you created the asset, the JSON response included an uploadUri and assetID. You uploaded to the uploadUri. You then did a GET request to a URL that includes the assetID. You should do a GET request to uploadUri.

A get request to the uri returns a 403 for me

<CanonicalRequest>GET

[Raymond Camden]

You need to pass authorization heades along as well. 

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Thanks a lot Raymond. However, I already tried that earlier, it returned a 400.

[Roy1383TrustedServer2024]

Thank you!

[Raymond Camden]

You know, I just realized something  - I think I'm wrong. Looking at the docs for GET, https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/apis/#tag/Assets/operation/asset.get, you DO use the asset id as you had, AND you pass the auth info.

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Thanks Raymond. Tried it, its returning a 404.

I would love to generate some documents through the api. I would greatly appreciate if I can achieve that.

[Raymond Camden]

To be clear, you don't need to GET the asset. Once you created it and uploaded it, you create a Document Generation job using the asset ID. While doing a GET should work, it's not required. Does that make sense?

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Thanks Raymond, I understand.

But I still have a blocker. When generating a document, process runs successfully. I get download link, however I noticed the document is not populated with data.

The placeholders are intact and the json sent is valid and proper. 

[Raymond Camden]

Can you post your JSON as an attachment, as wlel as your Word doc and the last PDF output, all as attachments?

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Okay Raymond. Please find attached files like you requested

[Raymond Camden]

Where is the PDF output? I see two Word docs attached, not the PDF. Are you downloading the right bits? Be sure to get the URL from polling the job. When it's down, it has the URL pointing to the result PDF.

[Hosanna31649818fnxj]

Thanks Raymond, the attached video has helped me with missing bits - I was able to get the doc generated as expected. I would spend some more time going through the docs and testing stuff out.

Thanks
