download attachment by rest api

[Dmitriy.Bochkanov]

Hi, please help download attachment.

I try using the api:

Steps:

1. I get list of attachments by

https:/<my_server>/wiki/rest/api/content/{contentId}/child/attachment

2. get {"_links": {"download"://download/attachments/{attach_id}/test_file.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1569048258206&cacheVersion=1&api=v2}}

3. call 
https://<mu_server>/download/attachments/{contentId}/test_file.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1569048258206&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&os_authType=basic
with header Authorization Basic <my_token>

as result I get 404

Please tell me where I mistaken?

Thanks.

Best Regards, Dmitry.

@Dmitriy.Bochkanovare you using /wiki in download url?

i.e.

https://<my_server>/wiki/download/attachments/{contentId}/test_file.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1569048258206&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&os_authType=basic
with header Authorization Basic <my_token>

@DPKJ 
Thank a lot. You solve it.
But is it error in "download" link?

Best regards, Dmitriy

@Dmitriy.BochkanovActually on Confluence Cloud, the base url contains context path of /wiki so it is not exactly an error, but Atlassian have not mentioned it clearly anywhere.
