Getting File Contents

Getting File Contents

The Get File By ID call returns the contents of the specified file. It can return either a text or a binary file. It does not return a JSON message or any file metadata, it only returns the contents of the file. The URL syntax for this call is:

GET /services/id/name/domain/version/file/filename

where name/domain/version identify the service and filename specifies the name of the file in that service.

For example, the following call returns the contents of a file:

https://esb.example.com/registry/services/id/coffeemaker/demo/1.0/file/HowToCallCoffeemaker.docx

Note:

You should not use any wildcards in the Get File By ID call. Although it is possible to specify wild cards in the name/domain/version parts of the URL, the behavior of this call is undefined if there are multiple services that match the specification.
