# List freight shipment documents

`GET /v1/freight/shipments/{freight_shipment_id}/documents`

List the documents available for a freight shipment, such as the Bill of Lading, pallet labels, and the proof of delivery. Documents become available as the shipment progresses: the Bill of Lading is generated at booking, while a proof of delivery only exists after delivery.

Each document's `url` is a path on the API host that returns the PDF, for example `https://api.shipengine.com/v1/downloads/...`.
