GETpartial

Download an authorized original evidence file

Controlled by PEOPLES_COURT_API_CANONICAL_ROUTES. The shared operation rechecks current authority and pinned Rules. Supports Range and never reveals a sealed opponent file.

/api/cases/{id}/evidence/{evidenceId}readEvidenceFilePreview

Authentication and authority

Use one listed account-session, scoped OAuth, or partner credential alternative. Account tokens retain the approving account’s authority. Cookie-authenticated writes require same-origin authorization. Alternatives are OR; schemes in one alternative are AND.

CanonicalSession

CanonicalPartnerBearer

AccountOAuth

Account tokens authorize only their approving account and case scope. S256 PKCE is mandatory on the code flow. Explicit reacceptance is required after Rules/disclosure changes.
