Using the API to get attachment URLs

jzadra

I have PDF row attachments in a sheet. I need to get a direct URL to the attachment but I can't see a way to do this in the API.

Using the GUI to "send" the file provides a link - so I'm trying to get something similar through the API. I'm aware that the the URL using the GUI method expires after 30 days. I would prefer them to be permanent, but if that isn't possible, a 30 day link will suffice.

You make a call to

https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/$Sheet_ID?include=attachments

substituting $Sheet_ID for the sheet ID and get the attachment id for each row

Then call

https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/$Sheet_ID/attachments/$This_Attachment_ID

which will return the direct link for the attachment.

Thanks this kind of worked, however the url expires within a minute so it isn't useful.

I tried adding an expiration of 7776000000 ms (90 days) and it seemed like it lasted slightly longer, but was expired within a few minutes.
