调用DocuSign API获取已完成信封返回空结果，请求协助

Let’s walk through practical fixes for this issue—since you know there’s a completed envelope in your account, we can narrow down potential causes step by step:

• Double-check your account ID: The ID 4636543 you’re using must match exactly with your demo environment account. Verify this by calling the GET /restapi/v2/accounts endpoint with your valid auth token—this returns all accounts linked to your authenticated user, so confirm 4636543 is listed here. Mixing up production and demo account IDs is a common oversight.

• Confirm the envelope’s actual status: Ensure the envelope you’re expecting is truly in a completed state. Call GET /restapi/v2/accounts/4636543/envelopes/{envelopeId} (replace {envelopeId} with your envelope’s ID) and check the status field. Envelopes marked as voided, declined, or even sent but not fully finalized won’t show up in completed folder results.

• Verify user permissions: The authenticated user (linked to your integration key or access token) needs access to that envelope. If the envelope was created by another user in your account, confirm there’s a sharing rule granting your API user visibility. Test this by authenticating as the envelope’s creator and running the same search request—if it returns the envelope, permissions are the issue.

• Add explicit date range filters: The search_folders/completed endpoint might have implicit date filtering excluding your envelope. Append from_date and to_date parameters to cover the exact timeframe when the envelope was completed. For example:

  https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2/accounts/4636543/search_folders/completed?include_recipients=true&from_date=2024-05-01T00:00:00Z&to_date=2024-05-30T23:59:59Z
  

  Adjust the dates to match when your envelope was finalized.

• Try the v2.1 API version: While v2 is still supported, DocuSign’s v2.1 API has improved folder search behavior. Update your request to use the v2.1 endpoint:

  https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2.1/accounts/4636543/search_folders/completed?include_recipients=true
  

  This may resolve edge-case bugs present in the older v2 endpoint.

• Validate your auth token’s scope: Ensure your access token includes the envelopes:read scope. If your token lacks this permission, the API might return empty results instead of a permission error. Inspect the token’s payload to confirm scopes are correct.

If none of these steps work, enable DocuSign API logging for your integration—this will show detailed request/response data to pinpoint why the envelope isn’t being returned.
