# Returns the invoice and PFR on a referral

> Returns download URLs for the invoice and the sent-back letter of
protection on a referral the authenticated group can access. A missing
file is left out. Both missing returns an empty `documents` array.

The letter of protection is the countersigned file when one is attached.
Otherwise it is the latest patient letter of protection.

Returns 403 until Scan enables `referral_documents_read` for the group.
Uploading a file uses `POST` on this path and a separate permission.

        The token does not expire after 24 hours. Sandbox tokens come from Get

        API keys and allow 2,000 successful requests or 7 days, or 90 days with

        an access code. Failed 4xx/5xx responses do not consume the allowance.

        Production tokens are issued from the group's API access tab and last

        until the expiry set there, or until revoked when no expiry is set.
