Sample Request

A POST Attachments from a Node to an Issue request to add attachments from a specific comment node (node=873) to a specific issue/ticket in JIRA (ID=69314) to https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com using a human-readable Username/Password (answerhub/test123) would look like the following cURL request below:

📘

NOTE:

You can extract the issue-id/jira-id (they are the same), from the following GET endpoints responses:

  • /services/v2/jira/node//ticket.json

  • /services/v2/jira/key//ticket.json

In the example request below, the user demo4 commented (ID:873) on the question (ID:872) and included an attachment you want to add to the ticket in JIRA. To add the attachment, you will need to make a request to retrieve ticket info by Jira key to obtain the issue-id, which the system will label as jira-id in the response and you will need to obtain the comment node id.

 -X POST "https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com/services/v2/jira/node/873/issue/69314/attachments.json"

Expected Response: HTTP 200 - OK
