We are trying to programmatically add attachments to Issues via REST API.

Found an example here - 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-add-an-attachment-to-a-jira-issue-using-rest-api-699957734.html

We execute:

curl -D- -u xxxx:xxxx -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@/text.txt" https://xxxx/rest/api/2/issue/ITA-999/attachments

We are getting the below response, and not seeing the attachment added when looking through the web UI.

 

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Content-Length: 0 

Location: https://xxxxx.xx.xx.io/jirarest/api/2/issue/ITA-999/attachments

What am I missing?

Hi, @joseph daniels 

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

You're using wrong request. You wrote nocheck, but must be no-check
And file you entered like @/text.txt, in example is another format

Example from KB article:

curl -D- -u admin:admin -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -F "file=@myfile.txt" http://myhost/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-123/attachments
