@brandtley - do you have an example for DocStarDownloadFile?

@daveleland, sorry had to dig around, but I found it.
Take my notes from the snippet before about ‘epicorUrl’ and ‘authentication’.

function downloadAttachment() {
    console.log("contentObject2: ", contentObject2);
    let epicorUrl = '';
    let authentication = '';
    let url = '/v1/Ice.BO.AttachmentSvc/DocStarDownloadFile';

    var val = contentObject2.value[0];
    var refNum = val.XFileRefNum;
    var xRefNum = parseInt(refNum);
    //const response2 = JSON.parse(contentObject2);
    return (async () => {
        const rawResponse3 = await fetch(epicorUrl + url, {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {
            "accept": "application/json",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Authorization": authuentication
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            xFileRefNum: xRefNum,
            metadata: {
            }
          })
        });
        const content3 = await rawResponse3.json();

        //console.log(content3);
        contentObject3 = content3;
    })();
};

I think it gives you a base64 string, and you’ll have to convert it to whatever file format it should be.

@daveleland, sorry it isn’t in C#. I’m not really good at anything, but I am much more familiar with JavaScript than C#. Maybe @josecgomez would bless us with his wisdom.

Update: check this out, Epicor Rest Helper (Nuget) Updated V2, there may be some helpful information in here.

Here’s the REST Call to do that

//Setup the Epicor REST API as outlined in the Epicor Rest Helper Nuget Documentation
var addedDocStarFile = EpicorRest.DynamicPost("Ice.BO.AttachmentSvc", "DocStarDownloadFile", new { xFileRefNum = 2222 });
//Where 2222 is the XFileRef number of the attachment

The response looks like this

{
  "returnObj": "string",
  "parameters": {
    "metadata": {
      "additionalProp1": "string",
      "additionalProp2": "string",
      "additionalProp3": "string"
    },
    "additionalProp1": {},
    "additionalProp2": {},
    "additionalProp3": {}
  },
  "additionalProp1": "string",
  "additionalProp2": "string",
  "additionalProp3": "string"
}

Where returnObj is a Base64 encoded file.
