Download file with a REST request needing headers and giving the content

Question

I am using AngularJs with a REST API. I don\'t have the hand on the REST API. I can store digital object with the API by sending a REST request. I can get it also with a GET req

Answer 1

Maybe you could do something like this?

var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'data:attachment/pdf,' + encodeURI(data);
a.target = '_blank';
a.download = 'filename.pdf';
a.click();

You'd just have to make sure that data was in the correct format, which IIRC is base64.
