Attaching CSV file to issue jira rest api python

Sarah Godine

Note: I am using python.

I am trying to create an issue using the API that has a CSV file as an attachment.

I have done some research and it seems I need to create the issue, then update the issue and add the attachment.

I am able to create an issue with no problem. However, when I go to add the CSV file, I am getting a 404.

Here is my code for adding the csv to my issue. I store the id of the issue I created into a dataframe. My auth is correct - I have just ommitted it for this post.

 

 

files = {'file': open('myfile.csv', 'rb')}

url="https://mydomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/"+str(df.iloc[0]['id'])+"/attachments"

headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check"
}

response = requests.request(
"POST",
url,
headers=headers,
auth=auth,
files=files
)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found the solution for others reference. This is the full code that is used with the exception of omitting the auth values.

 

files = {
'file': (myfile.csv, open(myfile.csv, 'rb')),
}

url="https://mydomain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/{id}/attachments"

headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check"
}

response = requests.request(
"POST",
url,
headers=headers,
auth=auth,
files=files
)

 

The first issue was I needed to add "/issue/" into my URL before the id of the issue. Secondly, I needed to remove "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" from my header values.

 

I hope this helps others!
