Get the print proof for one line

GET
/orders/{orderNumber}/items/{itemNumber}/proof
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.partners.collaterate.com/v1/orders/1/items/1/proof \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

The proof files and rendered preview for a single order line – what you are being asked to look at before approving or declining.

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.

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.

orderNumber
required
integer
itemNumber
required
integer

The line’s itemNumber, from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.

The line’s proof.

Media typeapplication/json

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
orderNumber
required
integer
itemNumber
required
integer
proofStatus
required

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.

string | null
Allowed values: NOT_CREATED PENDING_REVIEW APPROVED DECLINED UNKNOWN
files
required

Every consumer-visible proof file on the line, oldest first. Inactive revisions are included rather than filtered out; branch on active.

Array<object>

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
name
required

The file’s own name, as Collaterate holds it. Display text; do not parse.

string | null
link
required

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.

string | null
active
required

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.

boolean
createdOn
required

When Collaterate created the file, ISO-8601 UTC.

string | null format: date-time
visualUrl
required

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.

string | null

The order number or item number in the path is not a positive integer. This route accepts no query parameters at all – sending one is unknown_query_parameter, not silently ignored.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

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 shipToor 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.

Missing, expired, or otherwise invalid credential. Not retryable as-is.

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.

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.

No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – whether it does not exist, belongs to a site outside your grant, or is hidden from the customer, identically.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

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 shipToor 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.

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.

Retry-After
integer

Seconds to wait before retrying.

An unexpected server-side failure. detail is always the fixed string below and never the underlying error – a database message quoted back to a partner is a disclosure, so nothing is interpolated into it. The requestId resolves to the log entry that does carry the cause; send it to Partner Integrations rather than guessing.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

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 shipToor 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.

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.
