# Download audit trail

> Downloads a package's audit trail as a signed PDF file, rendered in the
requested culture.

The PDF can be generated for any package that has been submitted (i.e. is
no longer a draft); requesting it for a draft package returns a conflict.
To retrieve the structured audit trail for a package in any status,
including drafts, use `GET /packages/{packageId}/audittrail`.

    **Nitro Sign Enterprise Verified (NSEV) WebPortal API Version 4**


    A comprehensive digital signing API that enables secure document signing
    workflows.

    This API provides endpoints for managing packages, documents, elements,
    stakeholders, 

    and signing processes within the NSEV platform.


    ## Authentication


    This API supports multiple authentication methods:


    ### Basic Authentication

    Traditional HTTP Basic Authentication using username and password.


    ### OAuth 2.0


    **Client Credentials Flow (Machine-to-Machine)**

    - Full API access including administrative endpoints

    - Ideal for server-to-server integrations


    **Authorization Code Flow (User-based)**

    - Limited API access excluding administrative endpoints

    - Ideal for user-facing applications

    - Supports delegated user access scenarios


    ## API Variants


    This specification is available in two variants:

    - **Full API**: Complete API with all endpoints (BasicAuth + OAuth2 M2M)

    - **User API**: Limited API excluding admin endpoints (OAuth2 user-based
    only)


    Administrative endpoints (`/poisonqueue`, `/absenceperiods`, `/auditproofs`)
    are 

    restricted to machine-to-machine authentication only.
        
    ## Versioning


    This API follows semantic versioning principles. Major version changes may
    introduce

    breaking changes, while minor and patch versions maintain backwards
    compatibility.
