Getting meaningful attachment meta data from REST or Content API?

[ftopping]

My team is building a backup of the attachments that are hosted in Archer. However, we're not having much success in gathering the source of the Attachment (Record Tracking_ID or similar). 

Are there any handy calls (or guides) that will give more context as to where an attachment is coming from?

r = requests.get(url = base_url+"/api/core/content/attachment/"+str(attachment_id), headers=header)

@ftopping grabbing just the attachment itself will not return any metadata about the record the attachment is linked two.

Take a look at this utility, Download attachments and images using Archer Report, Archer API and PowerShell script - Archer Community - 685107 (archerirm.community)
