Download Results and Link Expiration Explained
After a task completes, you can get Markdown, Manifest, and ZIP download links. These links are generated temporarily, so it is best to download promptly.
Status & Scope
Current status: Live. This guide focuses on setup, what is available now, and the current limits.
After a task completes, DocPurify provides multiple result formats so you can plug them into different downstream workflows.
Common artifacts
- Markdown: the converted main text output, ready to use in AI, knowledge-base, or documentation workflows.
- Manifest: a file that describes the structure and contents of the result package.
- ZIP: a compressed package containing the files above for convenient download and sharing.
Link details
- All download links are temporary signed URLs.
- Links have a fixed validity period, and you need to refresh the task page to get a new one after expiration.
- If some artifacts are not ready yet, the download response will tell you that.
Note
Treat download links as short-lived delivery credentials, not permanent public URLs.
FAQ
Why do download links expire?
Download links are temporary signed URLs used for controlled access, so they have a fixed lifetime.
What should I do if one artifact is missing?
Refresh the task status, wait a moment, and retry until all needed artifacts are ready.
