Given the /download link provided by _links of an attachment how to access data using curl

Emanuele Ruffaldi

 

I have obtained a /download link as follows by using the REST API with /content/.../child/attachment

curl --user USER:PASS --url 'https://SERVER.atlassian.net/download/attachments/...

I have used the API token for the REST API request but which user an password should I try for the /download request (is the main user and password?)

 

Best,

Emanuele

Hi @Emanuele Ruffaldi,

 

Can you confirm you use the email address instead of the API token to authnticate?

This can indeed be the same as:

Also, if you already use the email address, you may have to add the Curl argument to follow redirect. E.g.

curl -D- -L -u EMAIL:API_TOKEN -X GET https://xxx.atlassian.net/..... 

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Cheers,
Dario
