HI David -

have a look at the Content Tools plugin - this enables fn!getDocumentsFromFolder.

Ok, further to my last reply - I also figured out that a [new] api isn't really needed to get the actual content of the document. You can get it using the url:

https://myappiansitename.appiancloud.com/suite/doc/433432

where the number at the end of the url is the document number. This will return the document in the http reply. However, it is [now] necessary to find a way to identify what documents are available for each case. For each case, I need the document numbers of each document [what would also be useful is their document (file) name and other meta-data like date they were uploaded - though this isn't 100% necessary]

Ok, I figured out [kind'a] how to do this - you have to specify the document's by document number, so the url loooks like this:

https://myappiansitename.appiancloud.com/suite/webapi/GetDocsForCase/144232

Which returns the relevant document. Now I need to write a seperate api to figure out what docs are available [by document number] for any given case...

Also, I need one that gives me a list of cases that are available...
