Hi Dhiraj,

 

Each <attachment> returned by the API call you mentioned has a <url> field, which you should be able to use to download the attachment, no?  You can also do this RESTfully like so:

 

[community base URL]/restapi/vc/messages /id /[msgId] 

/uploads/attachments/id/[attachmentId]/url

 

(wrapped for forums display)

 

Cheers,

Tyson

    Hi Tyson,

    I am doing this in a java app. So I think I should figure out the way hoe can I use java to download this attachment by using url.

    This might be a java questions rather than Lithium. :)

    Thanks for confirming on my understanding.
