jira 7.13.1 REST API POST Attachement issue Rejected URL

Question

Hi, I am trying jira 7.13.1 REST APIs through Power Automate and basically I want to add an attachment to an already existing task via the API, but I am not sure I am putting in the syntax right.

I get the message that The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator

My body of the flow looks like this: I am not sure that I actually specify the right id part, but does anyone have a clue of what might be the problem?

I can use the APIs in general to get info or to create an issue, but struggling with this one.

Hi @Gintarė Skorupskaitė,

This is how the cURL command looks like:

curl -D- -u {username}:{password} -X POST -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" -F "file=@{path/to/file}" http://{base-url}/rest/api/2/issue/{issue-key}/attachments

For the Postman example, you can refer to this thread.

Apologies, I do not have any knowledge of the Power Automate application hence I would not be able to advise on how to configure the file parameter.

I will leave this thread to someone that might have experience with the Power Automate application.

Thanks,
Moga

Hi Moga,

Thanks for the input. I have read the documentation, but it doesn't help in this case as I am missing something. Fx where to indicate the pathway to the file that I am trying to attach in this case?

The REST API to add an attachment on an existing issue: How to add an attachment to a JIRA issue using REST API . You can also refer to the REST API doc; https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.13.1/#api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/attachments-addAttachment .
