Downloading files

To download a file attached to Document, DocumentRevision or Note, use Files::download() method.

$files = $client->files();

$result = (string)$files->download('Document', '2f5d6dec-e1c5-e7c1-33f9-5a9119971946');
echo json_encode($result, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

"This is the contents of text file!!!\n"

Files::download() returns an instance of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream class. You can simply cast the stream to a string, as in example above. If you want to save to a file, you can pass an additional argument to Files::download():

$files = $client->files();

// --- either ------

$files->download('Document', '2f5d6dec-e1c5-e7c1-33f9-5a9119971946', '/tmp/destination.txt');

// --- or ------

$fh = fopen('/tmp/destination.txt', 'w');
$files->download('Document', '2f5d6dec-e1c5-e7c1-33f9-5a9119971946', $fh);

// at this point, $fh is still open!
