Retrieve Eligibility PDF (271)

Retrieve a PDF version of the 271 benefits response for the specified eligibility check

GET/eligibility-manager/eligibility-checks/{eligibilityCheckId}/pdf

This endpoint retrieves the eligibility PDF for a 270/271 eligibility check. Stedi generates a PDF for eligibility checks with valid 271 responses. The PDF contains a summary of the request details and a human-readable version of the 271 response.

Call this endpoint with the eligibilityCheckId path parameter set to the eligibility check's ID. You can retrieve this ID from the:
- id property of the real-time JSON, Raw X12, and SOAP eligibility check endpoint responses.
- items.id property of the Poll Batch Eligibility Checks endpoint response.
- Eligibility check's details page within the Stedi portal.

The endpoint returns the PDF as a base64-encoded string by default. To receive unencoded binary PDF data instead, include the Accept: application/pdf request header.

To view the PDF, save the unencoded response body to a file with a .pdf extension.

curl --request GET \
 --url "https://manager.us.stedi.com/2024-04-01/eligibility-manager/eligibility-checks/{eligibilityCheckId}/pdf" \
 --header "Accept: application/pdf" \
 --header "Authorization: <api_key>" \
 --output ~/Desktop/eligibility.pdf

Stedi generates the PDF within milliseconds after an eligibility check completes, so you can request it as soon as you receive the check response. In rare cases, it takes slightly over a second. This endpoint returns an HTTP 404 error until the PDF is available.
