Identifying a line
A line is (orderNumber, itemNumber). itemNumber is the same value GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items returns as itemNumber; there is no other line
identifier in this API, and none of Collaterate’s internal ids are published.
What comes back
files lists every consumer-visible proof file on the line, oldest first, with active
marking the current revision. At most 200 are returned and the list is not paged.
Measured 2026-08-19: 25 of 1,991,167 lines platform-wide carry more than 200 proof files,
so this ceiling guards against an anomaly rather than acting as a page size – but it is
real, and a line above it returns its 200 oldest with no marker saying so. Inactive files are returned rather than filtered out: a
line on its third revision has a history, and a silently shorter list is a mystery where
a flag is an answer. visualUrl is a rendered preview when one exists.
Proof links are short-lived. Both files[].link and visualUrl are URLs with an
expiry. Fetch them when you show them; do not store them and do not treat one that
stopped working as an error worth alerting on – call this endpoint again.
proofStatus repeats the line’s own status so one call tells you whether a decision is
still open. Only PENDING_REVIEW accepts an approve or a decline.
A file can arrive without a link, and that is not an error
files[].link is null on a file Collaterate cannot serve a download for right now. The
file is still listed, with its name, its active flag and its createdOn, because it is
genuinely part of the line’s proof history – the only thing missing is the URL. Three
things cause it, and none of them is a fault in your request:
- the file has been moved to secure long-term storage. Retrieval is an operator action and can take hours;
- the file is queued for retrieval from archive storage, or is still being copied into the storage tier downloads are served from;
- the download URL could not be minted for that one file on this request.
What to do: show the file with its name and treat the link as pending, and call this
endpoint again later – the same call, unchanged. If a link is still missing hours later
for a file you need, quote the orderNumber, itemNumber and the file’s name to your
Collaterate contact; nothing you can send on the request changes the answer.
A whole-response failure looks different: it is a 503, never a 200 with an empty
files array. An empty array means this line genuinely has no proof files yet.
Availability
This endpoint answers 200 as of 2026-08-19. It answered 503 for its first fifteen
weeks, and the reason given here – that Collaterate exposes a line’s proof files only to
a shopper’s browser session – was wrong: the file listing is in the same reader every
other read on this API uses, so no upstream change was needed and the ticket asking for
one was withdrawn. Nothing about the published shape changed.
Authorizations
Section titled “Authorizations”Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”Path Parameters
Section titled “Path Parameters”The line’s itemNumber, from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
Responses
Section titled “Responses”The line’s proof.
The print proof for one order line: the consumer-visible files and the rendered preview.
There is no proof id here, deliberately. A proof is addressed by the line it belongs to
– (orderNumber, itemNumber) – and Collaterate’s own proof identifier names a
supplier-wide configuration object rather than this line’s artefact, so it would be
misleading as well as internal.
object
The line’s proof status, identical to OrderItem.proofStatus. Only PENDING_REVIEW
accepts an approve or a decline. null means the line has not entered proofing at
all, which is not the same as NOT_CREATED.
Every consumer-visible proof file on the line, oldest first. Inactive revisions are
included rather than filtered out; branch on active.
One consumer-visible proof file.
Collaterate’s storage-tier fields (storedOffsite, vaultState) and its internal file id
are deliberately not published: none of them is something you can act on, and the id
addresses nothing in this API.
object
The file’s own name, as Collaterate holds it. Display text; do not parse.
A URL for the file, minted for this request and short-lived. Fetch it when you display it; do not store it, and re-read this endpoint rather than treating an expired link as an error.
null means “no download available right now”, not “no file”. The file has been
moved to secure long-term storage, is queued for retrieval from archive storage, or its
URL could not be minted on this request. The file itself is still listed with its
name, active and createdOn. Show it, treat the link as pending, and call the
endpoint again later – there is nothing to change about the request. See the operation
description for what to do if it stays null.
True for the current revision – the one an approval or decline applies to. A line on
its third revision returns three files with one active.
When Collaterate created the file, ISO-8601 UTC.
A signed, expiring URL for the rendered proof preview, or null when the line has no
rendered visual. Fetch it when you display it; do not store it.

Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application
code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is
expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been
disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the
same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second
parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.
Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |

404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |

rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.
Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.
object
Always the literal string about:blank today; reserved by RFC 9457 for future use.
Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.
Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.
Example
{ "type": "about:blank", "title": "Internal Server Error", "status": 500, "code": "internal_error", "detail": "An unexpected error occurred.", "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."}The proof could not be read – the database reader was unreachable, or Collaterate refused or failed to answer for the rendered preview. Retryable, with backoff.
This is no longer the everyday answer. Until 2026-08-19 this endpoint answered
503 on every request, for a reason that turned out to be wrong; see the operation
description. A single proof FILE whose download URL cannot be minted does not produce
this – that file is published with link: null and the response is a 200.
