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"
  }
}

Reject duplicate attachments

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

If the "If-None-Match" header is passed, Aha! will check the file's MD5 against other files uploaded that also used the If-None-Match header. If a file shares the same file size, name, and md5, a new attachment will not be created, and an HTTP 412 status code will be returned.

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