I'm a little bit confused with the REST API documentation.
Say I have a confluence page
https://COMPANY_DOMAIN/confluence/display/SOME_ID/This+is+root+page.
In the above page there is a section with a hyperlink like the below
https://COMPANY_DOMAIN/confluence/download/attachments/51527290/FileName
Reading a little bit around I found an answer implying that with this https://COMPANY_DOMAIN/rest/api/content/{id}/child/attachment I could download the file but not sure what the actual id is.
I tried with a GET and adding Authorization header with my company credentials.
Any ideas or examples?
Dear @Georgios Taskos,
nearly everything you need is written in the upper article.
First you need a list of all attachments (can also be only one) of one page.This is done via Rest:
GET /rest/api/content/{id}/child/attachment
The {id} is the internal number of your page. You can see this when you click on Page Information.
In the JSON response you have to look for the attachment and remember its
_links -> download
value. Then you need to make a normal HTTP call to download the file.
http://localhost:8090/download/attachments/98334/my_attachment.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1451988725383&api=v2
There the authentication works different as for a rest call, when not running from the browser. Read this post. Its for Jira, but it works the same way for Confluence.
So long
Thomas
Dear @Georgios Taskos,
you didn't come back to this question. Have you solved your problem? Do you need still assistance?

I am unable to list attachments of a page like you said.
I got 404 after hitting
https://<comapny-domain>/rest/content/<page-id>/child/attachment

Dear @Rahul_Purohit ,
there was a typo - I fixed in my answer:
False:
https://<comapny-domain>/rest/content/<page-id>/child/attachment
True:
https://<comapny-domain>/rest/api/content/<page-id>/child/attachment

The following curl command to GET a list of attachment with their 'result' worked where I am getting a 'result' of attachment.
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64CODE" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck" https://<COMPANY_DOMAIN>/rest/api/content/<pg-id>/child/attachment?filename=<filename>
However, I am trying to download an attachment.
In result with multiple parameters of attachment, I am seeing download part...
"download":"/download/attachments/<pg-id>/<filename>?version=59&modificationDate=1641419542563&api=v2"
I would like to download this attachment in remote host.
Can you please help me figure out the EXACT curl command to download the file in REMOTE HOST directory (hostname@//home/backup/)
Let me know please.
Thanks
Nisarg

Dear @NISARG SONI ,

The curl command is

Hello @Thomas Deiler
I ran the following command and it shows me file data in the remote server itself.
curl -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64CODE" https://<COMPANY_DOMAIN>(/download/attachments/<pg-id>/<filename>?
However, I would like to SAVE the exact file with same format in remote server in some directory (Let's say //home/backup)
Regards,
Nisarg

Hello @Thomas Deiler
I just figured out the way to download and save it in remote server. Here is the curl command:
curl -H "Authorization: Basic BASE64CODE" https://<COMPANY_DOMAIN>/download/attachments/<pg-id>/<filename>? -o //home/backup/<filename>
Thanks

Hi, I got the download link URL from the REST API response and am trying to download the file but having trouble.
What am I missing? The below request returns a 302 HTTP response with a `location` response header that seems to point to the exact location of the file
curl -u <email>:<api_token> "https://<domain>/wiki/download/attachments/2534081977/<file>.zip?version=1&modificationDate=1643705591470&cacheVersion=1&api=v2"

@Toru Furuya did you ever figure this out? I'm having a similar issue using an oauth2 token except I'm just getting back 401s instead.
