Product: ERAs & transaction enrollment

You can now programmatically retrieve PDF versions of your [835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERAs)](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/claim-responses-overview#835-electronic-remittance-advice-era) using Stedi’s new [ERA PDF API endpoint](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/api-reference/get-era-pdf). The `{transactionId}` path parameter is the ERA's transaction ID.

By default, the endpoint returns the PDF as a base64-encoded string. To get the unencoded PDF data, include the `Accept: application/pdf` request header. To view the PDF, save the PDF data to a file with a `.pdf` extension.

```jsx
curl -X GET \
  "https://healthcare.us.stedi.com/2024-04-01/electronic-remittance-advice/{transactionId}/pdf" \
  -H "Authorization: <api_key>" \
  -H "Accept: application/pdf" \
  > era.pdf
```

The PDFs are the same as the ones you can download from the [Stedi portal](https://www.stedi.com/docs/healthcare/receive-claim-responses#835-era-pdf):
