from morphik import Morphik

db = Morphik()

# Download a document's raw file
doc_id = "doc_123abc"

print(f"Downloaded {len(file_content)} bytes")

Async

from morphik import AsyncMorphik
import aiofiles

async with AsyncMorphik() as db:
    # Download a document's raw file
    doc_id = "doc_123abc"
    file_content = await db.get_document_file(doc_id)

    # Save to local file
    async with aiofiles.open("downloaded_file.pdf", "wb") as f:
        await f.write(file_content)

    print(f"Downloaded {len(file_content)} bytes")

Notes

• This method returns the raw file bytes, which you can save to disk or process in memory.
• For getting a downloadable URL instead of raw bytes, use get_document_download_url.
• The returned bytes match the original file that was uploaded/ingested.
