Delete Attachment using Rest API gives 405

[Satish.Kumar25]

Hi,

I need to delete the attachment from an issue in jira using REST API.

I am using below end point :  

/rest/api/3/attachment/{id}

id = Attachment id

The error thrown is 405 Method Not Allowed.

User Role : Project Administrator 

Thanks and Regards,

Satish Kumar

My first thought is to make sure you are using the DELETE method (not GET, POST etc.) I know it sounds obvious but I can't count the number of times I have been using Postman for rapid development where I copy an existing request and forget to change the method.

Hello @Satish.Kumar25 ,

The API seems to be working correctly.

Steps I used to verify:

* Use the GET "/rest/api/3/issue/{{issuekey}}"

* Fetch the Attachment ID and use it in the GET "/rest/api/3/attachment/{{attachmentID}}"

* Once you get a valid response from the above API, just edit the call type to DELETE instead of GET

Hope this helps
