trying to read attachment over api v1

[sten]

How is it exactly that I read an attachment over the v1 API.

I can get all the workspace and attachment info, but where do I get the actual file.

Thanks

Hopefully someone else can weigh in, but in the meantime, have you checked out DV1518: Programming Autodesk PLM 360 Using REST?  It's a class from Autodesk University 2013.  Pages 3 - 4 of the handout goes over how to create, download, and checkin files (though is appears this is with v2, not v1).

I'll try to get more info (or someone to weigh in here!) if it's possible with v1.

Thanks,

Michelle

Yes I already saw that one, but as you said it is v2. Not sure how I apply that to v1.

I looked through the .../application.wadl and tried a few with no luck:

.../api/rest/workspaces/{workspaceId}/items/{itemId}/files/{fileId}
Just give me a JSON of fields

I would like to try out:
.../api/rest/v1/profiles/{profile:\w+}/workspaces/{id:[0-9]*}/items/{dmsID:[0-9]*}/attachments/{fileID:[0-9]*}
but I have no idea what the {profile:\w+} argument is.

It would be a big help if someone could just point me to the right "GET" path.

you need to send in httpe header Accept: application/octet-stream

URL is same as for attachement metadata 

api/rest/v1/workspaces/{id}/items/{dmsID}/attachments/{fileID}

Thanks for weighing in Igor!

Sten - let us know if you need more help.  There's a support case open for you as well (case #10269311)

Perfect.

Was able to pull down a PDF file using python/response.
