I am trying to PST an attachment to an Airtable attachment field

Here is an excerpt from my POST

Steve48_0-1705529652426.png

 

This is the error I'm getting.

{"error":{"type":"INVALID_ATTACHMENT_OBJECT","message":"Invalid attachment object for field Lawsuit Docs - PDF: \"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y_4OYYb7NjIKremnh3aiuFFEh6smESFK/view?usp=drivesdk\""}}

 

The value of my LookedUpGDriveURL is 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y_4OYYb7NjIKremnh3aiuFFEh6smESFK/view?usp=drivesdk

 

TIA

    Well, have you checked the documentation on what it expects for the "Lawsuit Docs - PDF" object?

    Hi @Agnius

    I have tried to check the documentation but couldn’t find anything. Chat GPT suggested the code that I tried. From searching on the web, I think it may not be possible to do this via API. As a workaround, I created a text field and populated it with the url of the file (which is in Google drive). - Steve

    Every API endpoint is different. There is no uniform format that will work for all of them. And ChatGPT tends to hallucinate when it comes to specific tools or endpoints. So, you shouldn't trust it. I am not familiar with Airtable, but if they have an API, there should also be a documentation. If it's missing or lacking some info, try contacting the service provider for help. It really doesn't seem like a PAD issue - it's a thing with the specific endpoint in the API.

    @Agnius Yes. I posted on an Airtable forum but haven’t had a reply yet. Thanks.
