Cannot POST temporaryAttachments

Myles.Popa February 15, 2020

So I am trying to POST to the:

servicedeskapi/servicedesk/{serviceDeskId}/attachTemporaryFile

endpoint with the purposes of then attaching a document to a service request via a python code.  I can do all sorts of other things like get ticket information, download attachments, and post a comment through the APIs using python.  I am using these headers:

headers = {
'Accept': 'application/json',
"Authorization": "Basic {my-authorization}",
'Content-type': 'application/json'
}

However when I hit the attachTemporaryFile endpoint I am getting this error:

{'errorMessage': 'The action performed required a logged in user. Please log in and try again.',
 'i18nErrorMessage': {'i18nKey': 'sd.admin.servicedesk.error.authenticated.user.required',
  'parameters': []}}

Which is weird because I am the admin.  I have also tried defining  "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" in the headers as others have suggested.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there a way to attach a file directly to a request?  

-Thanks

Hi! 

I do recommend you just keep session, you can do it via request.Session()

like that one
