Work with documents
The Document API is for document histories and document revisions. It is separate from the usual structured-data workflow built around Tech Doc, Records, and Tracer.
When you need it
Use the Document API when your integration needs to create:
- a new document history
- a new document revision inside an existing history
When you probably do not need it
If your goal is one of the common developer workflows below, start somewhere else:
- exporting structured product data: use Export Records from CertHub
- writing release or test evidence back: use Write Evidence Records
- retrieving links between records: use Work with tracer
Current public surface
The public Document API reference in this portal is intentionally small. Today it documents two operations:
- create a document history
- create a document revision
That is why the developer portal treats documents as a specialized guide rather than the center of the API journey.
