# GET /api/invoicing/invoices/{id}/pdf/metadata

Invoices: Retrieves the metadata of an invoice's PDF document.

Returns the stored blob name, the suggested download file name, and the document size without
transferring the document. Rendering and caching happen on the same cache-first terms as the
download endpoint.

**Operation ID:** `invoicePdfGetMetadata`

## Authorization

Requires: Invoicing.Invoices, merchant scope.

Required permissions:
- `Invoicing.Invoices`

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| id | path | yes | string(uuid) | The invoice identifier. |
| suppressNulls | query | no | boolean | If true, omit properties with null values. |

## Responses

### 200

The PDF document metadata.

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `InvoicePdfResultDto`

Properties:
- `invoiceId` (string(uuid)): The invoice ID this PDF belongs to.
- `blobName` (string): The blob storage name where the PDF is stored.
- `fileName` (string): Suggested filename for download (e.g., "INV-2024-0001.pdf").
- `sizeBytes` (integer(int64)): Size of the PDF in bytes.

### 403

The caller does not hold the invoice read permission, or invoicing is not enabled for the
account (`Invoicing:Feature:NotEnabled`).

### 404

The invoice does not exist or the caller cannot see it (`Invoicing:Invoice:NotFound`), or
it belongs to another biller (`Invoicing:Biller:ForeignBillerNotAllowed`).

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### 401

Unauthorized

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### 400

Bad Request

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### 501

Not Implemented

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### 500

Internal Server Error

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### default

The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. See the error-code reference in this document's description for the values `error.code` can take.

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)

### 429

The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.

**Content type:** `application/problem+json`

Schema: `RateLimitProblemDetails`

Properties:
- `type` (string) required: The problem type identifier. Always the same value: the failure is the status code itself,  so there is no sub-type for a caller to branch on.
- `title` (string) required: A short, human-readable summary of the problem type.
- `status` (integer(int32)) required: The HTTP status code, repeated in the body as the problem-details format defines.
- `detail` (string) required: A human-readable explanation of this occurrence of the problem.
- `retryAfterSeconds` (integer(int32)) required: How long to wait before retrying, in whole seconds, carrying the same figure as the  `Retry-After` header. Always at least one: a value of zero would invite an immediate  retry that is certain to be rejected again.

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: `RemoteServiceErrorResponse`

Properties:
- `error` (RemoteServiceErrorInfo)
