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.shipstation.com/v2/downloads/....
get/v2/freight/shipments/{freight_shipment_id}/documents
