Download attachment API not working

[Docubuilder Suppoort]

We are using the below API to download an attachment from JIRA, but suddenly now we are getting 404 not found error.

https://datacommunique.atlassian.net/secure/attachment/{attachment-id}/{fileName}

Is this API is permanently removed or changed?

Hi @Docubuilder Suppoort 

I believe you only need the attachment id for the download.  Please try this one:

Kind regards,

@Bill Sheboy Thankyou for the reply. Yes If I change the API version 2 or 3 it works fine, but my question more on the API which I was mentioned and that was working before and now its not working.

Perhaps that is a deprecated method of getting the attachment.  I was only able to find a single reference to that approach in this older post in the developer community area:
