A cautionary tale of working with AtlasKit editor, Media Client, the Atlassian Media API and how the only option to get it to work is not very GDPR-friendly

awesome writeup Remie. I think this post pretty much described the frustrations of those affected including my team and me.

There’s a bunch of community posts seeking for more details on Media API in the past like these and I don’t think we got any support:

Fetching media from Atlassian Document Format

Any Atlassian dev who can help me here? How do I get the attachments from an Atlassian Document Format issue description?

Media picker upload file API call sequence

Hi, I would like to know if there is any documentation on using media picker to upload files? Doc here Atlaskit by Atlassian have little info on what APIs are expected to be implemented on server side to upload files. There are various API calls to upload files e.g. /upload/createWithFiles, /chunk/probe, /chunk/, /upload//chunks and /file/upload. I could not find in docs what are request params and expected responses for these APIs. Can someone please explain these APIs or point to the doc some…

I also emailed the Media API team after stumbling upon a documentation page on using Media API - https://api-gev2.media.atlassian.com/api.html
(which has been taken down now) and was told that they no longer provide external consumers with the ability to use the API directly.

As for working around it, similar to yours - my team and I went with uploading files to page via AP.request to /rest/api/content/${contentId}/child/attachment directly.
