Attachments
===========

The Bugzilla API for creating, changing, and getting the details of attachments.

.. _rest_attachments:

Get Attachment
--------------

This allows you to get data about attachments, given a list of bugs and/or
attachment IDs. Private attachments will only be returned if you are in the
appropriate group or if you are the submitter of the attachment.

**Request**

To get all current attachments for a bug:

.. code-block:: text

   GET /rest/bug/(bug_id)/attachment

To get a specific attachment based on attachment ID:

.. code-block:: text

   GET /rest/bug/attachment/(attachment_id)

One of the below must be specified.

=================  ====  ======================================================
name               type  description
=================  ====  ======================================================
**bug_id**         int   Integer bug ID.
**attachment_id**  int   Integer attachment ID.
=================  ====  ======================================================

**Response**

.. code-block:: js

   {
      "bugs" : {
         "1345" : [
            { (attachment) },
            { (attachment) }
         ],
         "9874" : [
            { (attachment) },
            { (attachment) }
         ],
      },
      "attachments" : {
         "234" : { (attachment) },
         "123" : { (attachment) },
      }
   }

An object containing two elements: ``bugs`` and ``attachments``.

The attachments for the bug that you specified in the ``bug_id`` argument in
input are returned in ``bugs`` on output. ``bugs`` is a object that has integer
bug IDs for keys and the values are arrays of objects as attachments.
(Fields for attachments are described below.)

For the attachment that you specified directly in ``attachment_id``, they
are returned in ``attachments`` on output. This is a object where the attachment
ids point directly to objects describing the individual attachment.

The fields for each attachment (where it says ``(attachment)`` in the
sample response above) are:

================  ========  =====================================================
name              type      description
================  ========  =====================================================

id                int       The numeric ID of the attachment.
bug_id            int       The numeric ID of the bug that the attachment is
                            attached to.

summary           string    A short string describing the attachment.

                            to a certain group called the "insidergroup",
                            ``false`` otherwise.
is_obsolete       boolean   ``true`` if the attachment is obsolete, ``false``
                            otherwise.
is_patch          boolean   ``true`` if the attachment is a patch, ``false``
                            otherwise.
creator           string    The login name of the user that created the
                            attachment.

                            about the flag currently set for each attachment.
                            Each flag object contains items descibed in the
                            Flag object below.

         "requestee" : "user@bugzilla.org",
         "new" : true
       }
     ]

overridden as it it pulled from the URL path.

================  =======  ======================================================
name              type     description

                           attachment is not ASCII text such as
                           ``application/octet-stream`` you must encode it in
                           base64 using an appropriate client library such as
                           ``MIME::Base64`` for Perl.
**file_name**     string   The "file name" that will be displayed in the UI for

                           to ``false`` if not specified.

                           attachment should be public. Defaults to ``false`` if
                           not specified.

             "added" : "text/xml",
             "removed" : "text/plain"
           },
           "is_patch" : {

         "last_change_time" : "2014-09-29T14:41:53Z"
       }
     ]
   }

``attachments`` (array) Change objects with the following items:

id                int       The ID of the attachment that was updated.
last_change_time  datetime  The exact time that this update was done at, for this
                            attachment. If no update was done (that is, no fields

                            then this will instead be the last time the
                            attachment was updated.
changes           object    The changes that were actually done on this
                            attachment. The keys are the names of the fields that

                              field. Possibly a comma-and-space-separated list
                              if multiple values were added.
                            * removed: (string) The values that were removed from
                              this field.
