Download Document
dcc_get_documentread1 credit / call
Download a filed document (PDF) from a Dallas County court case. Requires the document's eid and doc_type_id plus the owning case's case_number and location_id — all four come from dcc_case_detail (each documents[] entry carries them and a ready-built download_url). Returns document metadata and, by default, the file as base64. Note: document eids rotate per case-page render — always use one from a recent dcc_case_detail call. No authentication required.
