Message-Attachments via Rest API

Hi,

 

I try to get Message-Attachments via Rest API.

What I do is to get URL from the response of : ../messages/id/#{message_id}/uploads/attachments

 

The URL I get looks like this :

https://THE-COMMUNITY/OUR_COMPANY/attachments/OUR_COMPANY/BOARD_NAME/BOARD_ID/1/"a file name even with spaces.pdf"

 

When I try do download this file , I get this error : "ERROR could not download file: 403 Forbidden"

 

I tried the same with uploads/images (to proof that I am doing everything in the right way) , and this works.

I can download images…even via HTTPS.

So what I´m doing wrong ? Any help is very welcome.

 

Regards

Lutz

    Thanks for your answer.

     

    We found the solution.

    You must enable the option -Make all attachements public- in the admin interface.

     

    After that, you're able to download all attachements over the API

    Hi Lutz,

    Are you able to access the attachment when you go to the post via the web UI? If so, is there a difference you can see between that URL and the one returned by the API call? If so, then we might have a bug with the API call results. Otherwise, it might be a permissions issue (user viewing the attachment can't read the message the attachment is on).
