seansy-archy - I’m trying to use the Thoughtspo...

I’m trying to use the Thoughtspot API to download a PDF for a chart answer, it says the PDF option is not possible. 
curl -X POST \
  --url 'https://archy.thoughtspot.cloud/api/rest/2.0/report/answer'  \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --data-raw '{
  "file_format": "PDF",
  "session_identifier": "69fe6b50-a53a-4077-a6d4-83475639b638",
  "generation_number": 2
}'
curl -X POST \
  --url 'https://archy.thoughtspot.cloud/api/rest/2.0/report/answer'  \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --data-raw '{
  "file_format": "PDF",
  "session_identifier": "69fe6b50-a53a-4077-a6d4-83475639b638",
  "generation_number": 2
}'
Returns the error 
Only PNG/CSV file formats are allowed
Only PNG/CSV file formats are allowed
The docs say requesting a PDF is permissible via the REST api

When you do this via UI, even then it does not allow PDF downloads on unsaved answers

interesting, ok Based on the API documentation, this seems like a bug.

Yes, will get it corrected.

Do you mean the docs will be corrected or PDFs will be accessible for unsaved answers?

I think the docs will be corrected. This is something which even the TS application does not support..

So when I trigger to download the same edited answer (columns removed) through the UI, PDF is still available. If I use the REST API for the same session it fails, saying "only CSV/PNG formats are suppored", even though the modal doesn't include png in this case...

Can you give metadata_identifier as well here?
