Attaching Google Drive link while creating a card via Trello API either duplicates it or creates cover- Python

Trello

I am trying to create a card using Trello API. Name, description, and due date working seamlessly. But when I try to attach documents directly from Google Drive with ‘urlSource’, it either adds the document twice or puts its picture as a cover photo. I am simply trying to add the URL of the said document to the card, that’s all.

My function looks like this:

    def create_a_card(self, 
                      name="Test", 
                      desc="Test", 
                      pos=0, 
                      due=f"{(datetime.today()+timedelta(days=1, hours=11)).isoformat()}", 
                      due_complete=0, 
                      url_source="", 
                      id_members=[], 
                      id_labels=[], 
                      file_source="", 
                      id_card_source=""):

    url = "https://api.trello.com/1/cards"

    query = {
            'key': self.key,
            'token': self.token,
            'idList': self.target_list.get('id'),
            'name': name,
            'desc': desc,
            'pos': pos,
            'due': due,
            'dueComplete': due_complete,
            'urlSource': url_source,
            'idMembers': id_members,
            'idLabels': id_labels,
            'fileSource': file_source,
            'idCardSource': id_card_source,
        }

        response = requests.request(
            "POST",
            url,
            params=query
        )

        return response.json()

When I am calling this function I use something like this:

create_a_card(name="test5", desc="[test again](www.google.com)", url_source="https://docs.google.com/document/d/{Google_Drive_File_ID}/edit")

I will try to do this with creating an attachment on a card, but I wonder what am I doing wrong here?

Some things I tried to make it work:

  • Removing unused parameters from the query - same outcome
  • Removing the /edit part from the drive link - same outcome
  • Trying to add some other link - works good, no cover, no duplicate

So, I appreciate any ideas on this topic. Thanks!

Edit: It worked with first creating a card, and then adding the attachment. But the problem still stands.
