hello, world

# ===============
# upload.attachment.py
# ===============
import requests
import json

# [JIRA-BASE-URL], i.e.: http://localhost:8080


# [ISSUE-ID], i.e.: ATT-1
url = '[JIRA-BASE-URL]/rest/api/2/issue/[ISSUE-ID]/attachments'
headers = {"X-Atlassian-Token": "nocheck"}
# please uncomment to attach external file
files = {'file': open('greeting.txt', 'rb')}

# upload file to issue


# [USERNAME], i.e.: admin
# [PASSWORD], i.e.: admin
r = requests.post(url, auth=('[USERNAME]', '[PASSWORD]'), files=files, headers=headers)
print(r.status_code)
print(r.text)

Great post, made the difference for my efforts. The one thing I would mention is that at least for me (2019, Python2,
CentOS 7) I had to do the following for the authentication to work:

credentials = requests.auth.HTTPBasicAuth('[USERNAME]','[PASSWORD]')
r = requests.post(url, auth=credentials, files=files, headers=headers)

Here's an equivalent of curl in python (I didn't test it, by the way):
