Get a Batch
/capture/api/v1.1/batches/{batchId}
This operation will return the batch specified by the batchId parameter.
This operation supports the expand parameter as well, which is used to include child resources/collections inline. The collection
resource of documents
is supported in the expand parameter; and will inline all the documents of the batch.
Note: If the OAuth token represents an account that is a Capture Administator, the response will return the given batch, provided it exists. If the OAuth token does not represent an account that is a Capture Administator, meaning it is just a Capture User, the response will only return the batch if it exists and the batch was initiated from a Client Profile or an Import Job in which the account has been granted explict access.
Request
- application/json
-
batchId: string
The unique identifier of the batch in Capture.
-
expand(optional): string
The expand parameter provides the option of getting child resources/collections inline with the response. It accepts a comma-separated list of attribute names or
all
. When expand is specified asall
(withall
in lower case), all child resources/collections of the requested batch are expanded.When the expand parameter contains a non-defined child resource, the request operation results in an error. The available child resources/collections are:
documents
Example :
?expand=documents
Expands the collection of documents of this batch, if any.

This object contains information about a given user of Capture.
Models use this object to denote some relation between a user and some other object. For instance, a model of the API may define the attribute

Title:
HATEOAS Link
This is a HATEOAS link and related metadata. If responses provide links (for example, a

These are well known relations and have specific meanings. If they are applicale in Capture, they are used. For instance, canonical is well known relation, and Capture does use it.
Capture does define its own link relations in certain cases because none of the registered relations provided the proper meaning. As defined in RFC for Web Linking (RFC 8288) the relation needs to be a URI. The following link relations are defined by Capture:
urn:oce:capture:document-content
- Represents the link used to obtain a document's contenturn:oce:capture:document-complete
- Represents the link used to complete processing a document in a Step task queueurn:oce:capture:attachment-content
- Represents the link used to obtain an attachment's content
