WatchEye · Adhoc Checks

Download an adhoc check as PDF

GET
/adhoc-checks/{adhoc_check_uuid}/pdf
LIVE

Returns a printable PDF report for the adhoc check, suitable for inclusion in
customer-facing files. The PDF mirrors the on-screen quick-check report in the portal:
subject snapshot, configuration in force, per-match details and a results summary.
The response is application/pdf with a Content-Disposition header naming the file
after the check's check_number (e.g. adhoc-check-Q-A1B2CD.pdf).

Sandbox Environment

Build and test against a sandbox account. Sandbox is a separate account with its own UUID and its own API keys, and the environment is fixed at the account level, so you cannot switch an existing key between live and sandbox with a parameter or header. Both share the same base URL, so the account behind your key is what determines which environment you are in. GET /v1/account returns an environment field of live or sandbox, and that is the authoritative answer.

Calls on a sandbox key are not billed. Every endpoint, response shape, error envelope, idempotency and rate-limit behaviour mirrors live, so the only change when you move to production should be the credentials. Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager.

Practical Applications

Technical Use Cases tag

picture_as_pdf

Attach the report to your case file

Download the generated PDF and store it against your own record, so the evidence sits with the decision it supported.

send

Share with reviewers and auditors

Produce a self-contained document that can go to a reviewer, an auditor or a regulator without giving them portal access.

schedule

Collect once the check has completed

Request the PDF once the underlying check has reached a terminal outcome, so the report reflects the finished result.

rocket_launch Implementation

What does this endpoint return?

add

Raw bytes, not JSON. The success response carries the file itself, so treat the body as binary and write it straight to storage instead of parsing it.

Error responses are still JSON. A 404 means the record was not found or no file of that type is available for it.

rocket_launch Implementation

What are the rate limits?

add

600 requests per minute by default, enforced with a 60-second fixed window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining.

Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header giving the number of seconds to wait, and X-RateLimit-Reset giving the reset timestamp. Schedule retries from Retry-After instead of a fixed sleep, and slow down before you hit zero, not after.

Higher limits can be arranged case by case through WatchEye support.
