Im making a call via Request to docusign like so:



 var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: `${baseUrl}/envelopes/${envelopeId}/documents/${documentId}`,
headers: headers,
qs: {
encoding: 'base64'
}
};

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
...
})


Im getting back the document string but when I write it to a .pdf I get 4 blank pages. Here is the code im using to write it to a file:



fs.writeFile('cert.pdf', body, (err) => {
if(err) throw new Error(err)
})


Nodejs -v 8.11.1

Two issues:




  1. I'd leave out the qs: {encoding: 'base64'} option. The document will be returned as a binary file. (Which is what you want.)


  2. When you write the file, specify binary format. On a Linux system, there is no difference. But on Windows there is.



For a code example of retrieving a document, see this file.
