Certificates of attendance
==========================

The certificates plugin provides a HTTP API that allows you to download the certificate for a specific attendee.


Certificate download
--------------------

.. http:get:: /api/v1/organizers/(organizer)/events/(event)/orderpositions/(id)/certificate/

   Downloads the certificate for one order position, identified by its internal ID. Download is a two-step
   process. You will always get a :http:statuscode:`303` response with a ``Location`` header to a different
   URL. In the background, our server starts preparing the PDF file.

   If you then do a ``GET`` to the URL you were given, you will either receive a :http:statuscode:`409` response
   indicating to retry after a few seconds, or a :http:statuscode:`200` response with the PDF file.


   **Example request**:

   .. sourcecode:: http

      GET /api/v1/organizers/bigevents/events/sampleconf/orderpositions/23442/download/certificate/ HTTP/1.1
