  • Unified document properties: The model unifies essential document details, such as file name, file type, file size, and platform ID, making it easier to work with documents from different platforms.
  • Document type association: Documents can be linked to specific document types (e.g., bills, invoices, expenses) using the document_type_id and document_type properties, facilitating easy retrieval and organisation of documents.
  • File metadata: The model includes file type (MIME Type) and file size properties, enabling developers to handle documents appropriately and ensure compatibility with their applications.
  • Document upload status: When you request for a document to be downloaded, RootFi will download the document then cache the document on to its servers so future calls to download the document will be faster. The document_uploaded property indicates whether RootFi has uploaded the document to its servers.

Downloading the Document

After initially syncing the documents data document_uploaded will be false for all the documents. To download the document you must call the Download Documents API. This API will download the document and return a temporary download_url. Subsequent calls to download the document will be faster as the document will be cached on RootFi’s servers.
