/v1/annotations/attachments/{id}Download an annotation attachment
operation ID: get_v1_annotations_attachments_by_id
Overview
Download an annotation attachment. Annotations attach human context and evidence to operational data without changing the recorded series values.
When to use it
- Use it when an application needs to download an annotation attachment.
- Use it when an operator needs to add, find, revise, or preserve context around an event or time range.
Quick example
Set the base URL and replace generated identifiers or credentials with values from your installation.
cURL
curl --request GET \
--url "$ORDINATE_URL/v1/annotations/attachments/00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $ORDINATE_TOKEN"Expected output · 200
Stored attachment bytes with the original Content-Type
The response uses the documented non-JSON media type.
The cURL request supplies the documented path and query values and asks OrdinateDB to download an annotation attachment. The documented 200 response is stored attachment bytes with the original Content-Type.
How it works
Annotations are versioned records. Content can be revised or redacted while the API retains the documented history and attachment relationships.
