XF 2.2 REST API read and get attachment

[TheSkullKid]

I want to get the attachment from a post, but it looks like that this is not working:

To get the attachment key

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ'
    --request POST http://localhost/api/attachments/new-key/ \
    --data type=post \
    --data context[post_id]=1234

Now try to get the attachment

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' \
    --request GET http://localhost/api/attachments \
    --data key=GENERATED_KEY_FROM_ABOVE_COMMAND

This is the result:

        "missing": [
          "key"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Someone any ideas?
Thanks

 

[truonglv]

key should be in query params instead of data for GET request.

 

[TheSkullKid]

key should be in query params instead of data for GET request.

Do you got an example please.

What about attachments, the attachment field?

 

[TheSkullKid]

I changed the code to

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' \
    --request GET http://localhost/xf226/api/attachments?key=GENERATED_KEY_FROM_ABOVE_COMMAND

But still do not receive the attachments:

{

}

How to upload attachments?

No one who could help in here?

 

[TheSkullKid]

@truonglv you might be able to help me again, please

 

[TheSkullKid]

Is there one who could help a little bit

 

[TheSkullKid]

Still did not find the solution! Is there anyone who would like to help me?

I am not entirely sure what you are trying to do, but let's assume you want to get information about attachments in post ID 1234

REST API endpoints (2.2)

This document assumes you have already created an API key and setup the necessary headers for your request. Learn more about using the API.

xenforo.com

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' http://localhost/api/posts/1234/

This should return a Post result with member Attachments which is an array of Attachment

If you want to get the attachment data (eg. image binary, etc.) you have to make an API call using the attachment_id from Attachment (let's assume that the ID is 5678):

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' http://localhost/api/attachments/5678/data/

Thanks for that, but how to upload attachments via API?

 

[Kirby]

Assuming you want to add a new attachment from file test.txt in current directory to an existing post with ID 1234 using a user key and you do not yet have an attachment key yet:

Generate a new key:

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' -F type=post -F context[post_id]=1234 -F attachment=@./test.txt http://localhost/api/attachments/new-key/

Upon success, this should return a JSON with member key.
If you need to upload further attachments: https://xenforo.com/community/pages/api-endpoints/#route_post_attachments_

Afterwards associate the attachment(s) from the key to the post by editing it:

curl --header 'XF-Api-Key: KEYXYZ' --request POST --data silent=1 --data attachment_key=<key> http://localhost/api/posts/1234/

If you want to upload attachments to a new post in an existing thread, the context would be thread_id=X, for a new thread it would be node_id=X.
