I am using the API (Python SDK) to get a list of Envelopes.
Recently, I noticed that I was not able to retrieve Copy Received Envelopes.
They are in my inbox, but I am not able to retrieve them using the list_status_changes method.

How can I use the API to get the Copy Received Envelope?

You can only access the document via API that have been sent from your DocuSign account. If you receive an envelope for signature from an external party using a different DocuSign account, you cannot access them via the API. This should be regardless of the recipient type of “Needs to Sign” or “Receives a Copy”.

Have you tried to manually get an envelope ID from one of the transactions where you are a “Receives a Copy” recipient to check if you can access it via the API?

Maybe you can try to edit the parameter “user_filter” to be “recipient”, as described in the API reference for the list_status_changes method in order to list more envelopes here to download?
