Read content of an attachment file in Confluence

[bvf1kor]

Hi team,

When I get the attachment details by hitting the below API:

https://testteamplugin.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/attachments/att62750736

I get response like:

{ "downloadLink": "/download/attachments/61440001/abhishek.json?version=1&modificationDate=1725961885381&cacheVersion=1&api=v2", "createdAt": "2024-09-10T09:51:25.381Z", "mediaTypeDescription": null, "webuiLink": "/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=61440001&preview=%2F61440001%2F62750736%2Fabhishek.json", "comment": "", "version": { "number": 1, "message": "", "minorEdit": true, "authorId": "62418aca699649006ae4ede1", "createdAt": "2024-09-10T09:51:25.381Z" }, "title": "abhishek.json", "status": "current", "fileSize": 9811, "pageId": "61440001", "mediaType": "application/json", "fileId": "8bdc6849-f408-4878-9e1a-39c7ce837785", "id": "att62750736", "_links": { "download": "/download/attachments/61440001/abhishek.json?version=1&modificationDate=1725961885381&cacheVersion=1&api=v2", "webui": "/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=61440001&preview=%2F61440001%2F62750736%2Fabhishek.json", "base": "https://testteamplugin.atlassian.net/wiki" } }

I want to get the content of the attachment, I don't want to download the file I just want to read it using API how can I do that.

Hi @bvf1kor 

You can't.

The API has no option for showing content.

Any other Confluence API  with which I can read the content of a particular attachment?

Hi @bvf1kor 

No Confluence only has one API.
