GET /entity/<type>/<id>/_upload

get_entity_type_id_upload

The same handshake with the field left out of the path, which stores the bytes as an Attachment on attachment_links rather than on a field. The type must actually have that field.

API

GET /entity/notes/<id>/attachments/_upload is the fieldless form: attachments is the multi_entity link, not a media field, and the upload lands as an Attachment row on attachment_links.

Params

part value
path /entity/<type>/<id>/attachments/_upload
filename required, as on the field form

Sample requests

r = c.get("/entity/notes/10963/attachments/_upload", params={"filename": "probe041.txt"})
info, links = r.json()["data"], r.json()["links"]
{
  "data": {
    "timestamp": "2026-09-04T03:54:36Z",
    "upload_type": "Attachment",
    "upload_id": null,
    "storage_service": "s3",
    "original_filename": "probe041.txt",
    "multipart_upload": false
  },
  "links": {
    "upload": "<media-url>",
    "complete_upload": "/api/v1/entity/notes/10963/attachments/_upload"
  }
}

upload_type is Attachment here where the field form returns Thumbnail. That is the only difference in the reply.

On a type with no such field:

{"errors": [{"status": 404, "code": 103, "title": "Not Found",
             "detail": "Field 'Shot.attachments' does not exist."}]}

Response codes

status when
200 the type has an attachments field
400 filename is missing
404 Field 'Shot.attachments' does not exist. Shot has none; Note and Version do

Edge cases

  • Not every type has attachments. Shot does not, and the 404 names the field rather than the route, which is the useful half.
  • The Attachment row is created by step three, not by this call. Read the parent's attachments back to learn its id; nothing in this reply names it.
