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.shipstation.com/v2/downloads/...`.

## Response `200`

The request was a success.

- ListFreightShipmentDocumentsResponseBody — The documents available for a freight shipment.
  - `documents` FreightDocument[] — The documents available for the shipment. The list grows as the shipment progresses — a proof of delivery, for example, only exists after delivery.

    - `created_at` string, date-time, nullable — When the document was created.
    - `url` string, nullable — The path to download the document as a PDF, relative to the API host. Resolve it against `https://api.shipstation.com` to get the full URL.
