Steps
Authenticate and obtain a bearer token or session cookie as described for Chemwatch's GraphQL API.
Find the target material's `documentKey` via `fullSearch`, `ownSearch`, or `listSocketsByFolder`.
Call the `document` query with `documentKey` and, optionally, `countryCode` and `languageCode` to get the regional/language variant you need.
Set `type` to one of the documented values (`gold-sds`, `mini-sds`, `vendor-sds`, `vgd`, `sop`, `first-aid`, `fire-fighting`, `ppe`, `environmental`, `toxicological`, `spills`, etc.) to pull a specific section instead of the server default.
Use the `dictionary` query (`countries`/`languages`) to look up valid `countryCode`/`languageCode` values if unsure which to pass.
Known gotchas
Omitting `type` returns the server's default document/view for that key — pass `type` explicitly if you need a specific SDS section (e.g., `gold-sds` vs `mini-sds`).
The `document` query returns a single `String` whose encoding depends on the API and requested `type`; handle it as HTML, PDF-reference, or plain text depending on the type.
Regional base URLs (AU/EU/USA) hold different tenant data — querying the wrong region's Beehive endpoint for a `documentKey` minted elsewhere will not find the record.
