Generate temporary PDF link

Returns a temporary URL to the invoice PDF instead of streaming the bytes.

Convenient for embedding in emails or messaging apps.
Dual contract: 200 with the URL when the PDF is already materialized; 202 with status: pendiente when generation was enqueued (the PDF renders on the pdf queue) — retry until you get the 200.

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

X-Active-Profile?string

Operate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
