GetVersionTextOnlyContent API

Returns the plain-text alternative content stored alongside a specific version of a document. This text-only content is a separately stored artifact in the document warehouse — it is only present if it has been explicitly set (for example, by a conversion process or via SetVersionTextOnlyContent). Passing 0 for the version number retrieves the latest version's content, equivalent to calling GetDocumentTextOnlyContent.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/GetVersionTextOnlyContent

Methods

GET /srv.asmx/GetVersionTextOnlyContent?AuthenticationTicket=...&Path=...&VersionNumber=...
POST /srv.asmx/GetVersionTextOnlyContent (form data)
SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/GetVersionTextOnlyContent

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`AuthenticationTicket`	string	Yes	Authentication ticket obtained from `AuthenticateUser`.
`Path`	string	Yes	Full infoRouter path to the document (e.g. `/Finance/Reports/Q1-Report.pdf`), or a short document ID path (`~D{id}` or `~D{id}.ext`).
`VersionNumber`	int	Yes	Internal version number of the version whose text-only content to retrieve. Pass `0` to retrieve the latest version. See note below for the internal version number format.

Internal version number format: infoRouter stores version numbers internally as multiples of 1,000,000. Version 1 = 1000000, version 2 = 2000000, version 3 = 3000000, and so on. The user-visible version label (e.g. "3") maps to 3000000. Values between 1 and 999999 are explicitly rejected. Use GetDocumentVersions to obtain the correct internal version number for a given version label.

User-visible version	VersionNumber value
1	`1000000`
2	`2000000`
3	`3000000`
Latest (any)	`0`

Response

Success Response

On success, the plain text content is returned as the body of the <response> element (not inside a child element):

<response success="true" error="">This is the plain text content of version 2000000 of the document.
It may span multiple lines and represents the text-only
alternative stored in the document warehouse for that version.</response>

Attribute	Description
`success`	`"true"` on success.
`error`	Empty string on success.
(element body)	The plain text content of the specified version. May be an empty string if text-only content has never been set for this version.

Error Response

<response success="false" error="There is no published version for this document." />

Required Permissions

The calling user must have at least read access to the document and the specified version.

Notes

The text content is returned directly as the body of the <response> element, not inside a named child element.
This API retrieves a separately stored plain-text artifact from the document warehouse. It is distinct from the full-text search index abstract returned by GetDocumentAbstract1. The content is only present if it was previously written (e.g. by a document conversion process or via SetVersionTextOnlyContent).
Passing VersionNumber=0 retrieves the latest version's text-only content, equivalent to calling GetDocumentTextOnlyContent.
Version numbers in the range 1 to 999999 are invalid and will return an error. Version numbers must be exact multiples of 1000000.
Use GetDocumentVersions to enumerate all versions and their internal version numbers before calling this API.
Offline documents, URL documents, and shortcut documents do not have text-only content and will return an error.
Both full infoRouter paths and short document ID paths (~D{id} or ~D{id}.ext) are accepted for the Path parameter.

GetDocumentTextOnlyContent - Get text-only content of the latest published version (no version number required)
SetVersionTextOnlyContent - Set the text-only content for a specific version
GetDocumentVersions - Get the version history list for a document (to obtain internal version numbers)
GetDocumentAbstract1 - Get the full-text search index abstract for a document version
GetDocument - Get full document metadata and properties
