Attachments API

Files can be uploaded to Aha! as a sub-resource on any resource that supports them. These resources support attachments:

Record descriptions (the description of a feature, requirement, etc.)
Comments
To-dos
Custom note fields

The format of an attachment is either a multipart/form-data upload with the input name attachment[data] or a JSON payload pointing to an URL link:

{
  "attachment": {
    "file_url": "http://www.aha.io/",
    "content_type": "text/html",
    "file_name": "home_page.html"
  }
}

Create an attachment on a record description via a link

POST /api/v1/notes/:note_id/attachments

Many records throughout Aha! have an associated description: features, requirements, ideas, etc. You can find the ID of a record's description within the description attribute returned by any record show endpoint. You can then use that description ID to create an attachment on the record by providing it as the note_id URL parameter for this endpoint.

Parameters
Name	Description
`note_id *`	Numeric ID of the record description for which the attachment should be created
