Unable to upload an attachment on confluence page using oauth authentication, it works using basic a

Deepika Bhatia January 10, 2020

Hi, 
 I created an application link on Confluence and  am able to get the token and secret for oauth. When I try to use the token/secret in the Atlassain Confluence python api, it doesn't work. I am able to upload an attachment using basic authentication.

Here is my code

import requests
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
from oauthlib.oauth1 import SIGNATURE_HMAC, SIGNATURE_RSA
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session
from atlassian import Confluence




key = open("confluence_privatekey.pem").read()
pkeystring=key.strip()
print (pkeystring)
oauth = OAuth1Session('oauthkey', client_secret='oauthsecret',signature_method=SIGNATURE_RSA, rsa_key=pkeystring)

####this call is working
fetch_response = oauth.fetch_request_token('https://xyz.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/oauth/request-token')


access_token = fetch_response.get('oauth_token')
access_token_secret = fetch_response.get('oauth_token_secret')
print(fetch_response)
oauth_dict = {
'access_token': access_token,
'access_token_secret': access_token_secret,
'consumer_key': 'oauthkey',
'key_cert': pkeystring}
print(oauth_dict)



confluence = Confluence(url='https://xyz.atlassian.net/wiki', oauth=oauth_dict)


### this call fails but works with basic authentication
zz = confluence.attach_file("text1.txt", name='text1.txt', page_id='1234')

I get this error:


File "C:\Users\dbhatia\PycharmProjects\LearnModule\venv\lib\site-packages\atlassian\confluence.py", line 522, in attach_file
comment=comment)
File "C:\Users\dbhatia\PycharmProjects\LearnModule\venv\lib\site-packages\atlassian\confluence.py", line 484, in attach_content
if attachments.get('size'):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Hi Deepika,

I would suggest reaching out to the Developer Community:

There you will be able to get better support for your development queries.

Cheers,
