Get attachments from API using NODE and getting error 401

[Ronaldo]

I am trying to download the contents of an attachment from a issue with nodejs. But I always get - Unauthorized (401)

But I do with the same user and token several other calls successfully. is I have the same header in the call. see code below:

async function baixarArquivoXls2(id) {

  try {

    const headers = {

      'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(conection.username + ":" + conection.password

        // 'email@example.com:<api_token>'

      ).toString('base64')}`,

      'Accept': 'application/json',

      'Content-Type': 'application/json'

    };

    const response = await axios.get(conection.urlbase+'/secure/attachment/'+id,  { headers });

    console.error('OK');

  } catch (error) {

    console.error('Erro:', error);

  }

}

I Tryed by this way too. But get a 404 bad request

null for uri: <mylink>/rest/api/2/attachment/content/24200'

async function baixarArquivoXls3(id) {

  try {

    const headers = {

      'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(conection.username + ":" + conection.password

        // 'email@example.com:<api_token>'

      ).toString('base64')}`,

      'Accept': 'application/json',

      'Content-Type': 'application/json'

    };

    const response = await axios.get(conection.urlbase+'/rest/api/2/attachment/content/'+id,  { headers });

    console.error('OK');

  } catch (error) {

    console.error('Erro:', error);

  }

}

Where are my error? anybody knows?

Try this

Create a Jira Token for your user, this link will explain: Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account (and it will guide you to this link API Tokens)

Save the token

Modify your code to

const headers = {

      'Authorization': 'Token the_token_you_just_created'

      ...

and

await axios.get(conection.urlbase+'/secure/attachment/'+id,  { headers: headers, auth: {username: your_jira_user_email, password: the_token_you_just_created } });

Let me know if this worked for you

Good luck!

conection.username and conection.password stores exactly these values.

Okay, but, have you tried modifying the code the way I told you? changing the Auhtorization in the header and set the auth like another param

Just in case, test it

In Python worked for me applying these changes
