How to Retrieve and Store Expense Attachments from Zoho Expenses?

How to Retrieve and Store Expense Attachments from Zoho Expenses?

I am currently syncing Zoho Expenses with our internal portal. During the sync process, I can successfully retrieve expense details, including document-related information such as file_name, document_id, and other metadata.

My goal is to retrieve these documents (attachments) using the provided details and store them in our system for further processing. However, I couldn’t find any specific API endpoint in Zoho’s documentation to fetch or download these files using the document_id or similar identifiers.

Could someone guide me on:

  1. How to retrieve these documents from Zoho Expenses?
  2. The process or API (if available) to fetch these files and store them in a local or server-side directory?

Any insights, suggestions, or references to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
