I tried to upload an attachment using add_attachment() python rest api, but getting error.

I am able to upload the same attachment from GUI but unable to retrieve the info using the issue.fields.attachment JIRA rest api.

Please suggest me the resolution for this.

Getting the below error while attaching the file:

It looks like you have hit the wrong URL with your REST call.  You shouldn't have had any of that html back, it implies you're landing on standard pages rather than the REST one.
