Streams the bytes through our API (org-scoped) so the frontend never has to fetch the presigned S3 URL cross-origin — and no third party is involved. Size-capped; binary formats are rejected with 415. Streams a text-like file's decoded content through the API as a preview, without requiring a separate fetch of the presigned S3 URL. Only text-ish content types are accepted: `text/*`, `application/json`, `application/xml`, or anything ending in `+json`/`+xml`. The read is ranged and capped — it never pulls more than 2 MB out of S3, and the returned text is truncated to 200,000 characters — so this is a preview, not a way to fetch the full file for binary or very large formats. There's no stored "extracted text" field — this endpoint reads the object out of S3 live on every call. Nothing is cached back to the `files` row. ### Auth Requires a CRM read [scope](/authentication#scopes) and an active organization on the token. Any of `contacts:read`, `deals:read`, `companies:read`, or `activities:read` qualifies, as does any `*:manage` scope — manage implies read. ### Response | Field | Type | Description | | -------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `text` | `string` | Decoded UTF-8 text (invalid bytes replaced), capped at 200,000 characters. | | `truncated` | `boolean` | `true` if the object was cut off by either the 2 MB read cap or the 200,000-character cap. | | `content_type` | `string` | The file's stored `content_type`. | ### Errors | Status | Cause | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | `404 Not Found` | File doesn't exist (or isn't in this org, or is archived). | | `409 Conflict` | File is still `status: "pending"`. | | `415 Unsupported Media Type` | `content_type` isn't one of the text-previewable types. | | `502 Bad Gateway` | The S3 read failed. | ## OpenAPI ````yaml GET /files/{file_id}/text-content openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: anycrm-api version: 0.0.1 servers: [] security: [] tags: - name: Customer Intelligence description: >- Company research and ICP-fit scoring — create a research run, track its progress, and read back scored companies as leads. - name: Outreach description: >- The cold-email management console — domains, mailboxes, and campaigns — as a thin control plane over the SalesForge stack. - name: AnyCard description: >- Authenticated CRUD for AnyCard, the org's digital business-card / lead-capture product. - name: AnyCard Events description: >- Event-attribution analytics for AnyCard — which captured leads converted, broken down by source, owner, and deal. - name: AnyCard Share Links description: >- Unauthenticated endpoints reached by anyone who scans a QR code or opens a shared AnyCard link. - name: AI description: >- A streaming (SSE) AI chat endpoint with account-commit actions it can take on the caller's behalf. - name: Analytics Assistant description: >- The natural-language analytics assistant — a guarded text-to-SQL loop (SSE) that answers ad-hoc questions over the org's CRM data as a least-privilege, read-only database role. - name: Account Readiness description: >- Account Readiness Profiles — AI-scored signals on whether an account is ready for outreach or expansion, computed via a Temporal workflow. - name: Integrations description: >- Pipedream Connect — issuing connect tokens and managing the org's connected third-party accounts. - name: Feedback description: >- User-submitted platform feedback (bug reports, feature requests) — global, not scoped to one organization. - name: Public Media description: >- Unauthenticated image reads for publicly-embeddable assets (card photos, inline email images) — allowlisted by key shape; everything else in the storage bucket stays private. - name: Service Health description: Service liveness. paths: /files/{file_id}/text-content: get: tags: - Files summary: Get File Text Content description: >- Return the decoded text of a text-like file for in-browser preview.
