Tender documents
GET /tenders/{tender_id}/documents lists the source documents the customer uploaded into the tender — the same attachments a forwarded LV / RFQ email carried (GAEB, PDF, Excel, images, .eml), or the files a POST /tenders upload sent. Use it to archive the customer's original request alongside the priced offer you write back into your ERP.

}- Only the customer's own uploads are listed. Mercura-generated artefacts — the offer / display PDF, the structured-doc preview, and internal OCR / metadata side-files — and any hidden files are excluded. If a tender has no uploaded documents,
datais an empty array. download_urlis a short-lived, pre-signed link to the bytes in object storage. Fetch it with a plainGET— noAuthorizationheader — and the file downloads with its original name and content type. The API never proxies the file contents.- The link expires at
download_url_expires_at(one hour). Treat both thedownload_urland the whole document set as transient: re-list to obtain fresh links rather than persisting a URL. In non-production environments where the storage backend cannot sign URLs,download_urland its expiry arenull. idis the file's stable id: it is stable across re-lists, so you can skip a document you have already imported.- An unknown, non-tender, or foreign id returns
404— indistinguishable from a missing tender.
