Adding an Attachment using the Web API

[wellmet]

I'm using Postman to test it but I can't even get it to work in Postman.  I get either the error message that it is an unsupported media type or I get an internal server error.  Clearly I'm missing something.

Are you getting a this error:

Status: 500 Internal Server Error

The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint \"ATTACHMENT_HISTORYID_FK\". The conflict occurred in database \"BurtonBox\", table \"dbo.TBL_HISTORY\", column 'HISTORYID'.\r\nThe statement has been terminated.

if so, it might be that the Guid in the URL doesn't exists as a document. After you post a document (api/documents) make sure you get the id (guid) and pass that to the second call to api/attachments/documents/{id}.

If that is not your error please send me both API calls.

[wellmet]

No.  I'm getting sequence contains no elements.

How did you come up with the key "Postman_Dump.json"?

[wellmet]

Can you send me detailed screen shots of all of the posts you are making in Postman or can you send me a Postman template for it?

[wellmet]

Nevermind.  I figured it out finally.  It wasn't obvious to me at least what the problem was.  I needed to create a key for the file in the form-data section and select a file in there to upload instead of selecting a file in the binary section.  Hopefully that will save someone else a little time when trying to upload a file using Postman.

Have you tried using ACT! Middleware?

I've successfully used this with Delphi to add documents to named contacts in ACT! in real-time.

Simple to use, simple to setup and you basically send a small text file to the system (low memory, very fast) and it responds with DONE when completed.

I don't think it's available online anymore, but PM and I can send you a DropBox link.  Best thing is....it's free!
