This endpoint uses a claim’s transactionId to retrieve autogenerated CMS-1500 Claim Form PDFs for submitted 837P professional claims.

1. Call this endpoint with the transactionId path parameter set to the claim’s transaction ID. This ID is included in the transaction processed event for the claim, which you can receive automatically through Stedi webhooks. You can also retrieve this ID through the Poll Transactions endpoint or from the transaction’s details page within Stedi.
2. The endpoint returns the PDF data as a base64 encoded string.

To view the PDF, decode the base64 string and save it to a file with a .pdf extension.
