How to read standard fields in the docusign api

Question

I am implementing qsjava application of docusign , as part of the application it is taking the pdf file from local folder ie, World_Wide_Corp_lorem.pdf . I want to take that file from my accound Link .

I have created the Template and I have added the standard fields like text box.

Here my question is in the api link ie, https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2.1/accounts/accountid/templates/teplateid , I am not getting the statndard fild that I have added in the template, from which api I will get it. Once I got that field how can I read that my account template api and use that template in my application.

I'll answer your question, but I don't think that's what you are trying to do. To retrieve the bits of documents inside templates, you can use this endpoint:

GET /restapi/v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/templates/{templateId}/documents/{documentId}

You need to know the documentId of your document, which is typically a number, if you set it yourself you can use "1", "2" etc.a

Now, I wonder if what you want to do is use this template to have someone sign an envelope using that template? that doesn't require you to download the bits.

See this code example that shows how to do this with your template if that's what you're after.
