HTTP 401 on download_attachments_from_page() but not get_attachments_from_content() #1601
Description
I am trying to download attachments from confluence pages. Because I have been getting 401 errors when calling download_attachments_from_page() (it worked yesterday?) I also included get_attachments_from_content().
def downloadFileFromConfluence(logger, Confluence, confluencePageID, dlFolder):
logger.info("[" + str(datetime.datetime.now()) + "] --- Start of download from Confluence.")
try:
# Download all attachments from the given page
attachments = Confluence.get_attachments_from_content(confluencePageID, start=0, limit=50, expand=None, filename=None, media_type=None)
print(attachments)
Confluence.download_attachments_from_page(confluencePageID, path=dlFolder)
except Exception as e:
print(str(e))
logger.error("[" + str(datetime.datetime.now()) + "] --- An error occured while accessing Confluence!")
logger.error("[" + str(datetime.datetime.now()) + "] " + str(e))
The console output from this piece of code is

HTTP error occurred while downloading attachments: Unauthorized (401)
Getting the list of the (one) attachment(s) works. But once I want to download them, the call gives me an "Unauthorized (401)". I checked this also via stepping through, just so I am sure that download_attachments_from_page() is throwing that 401.
I MUST be doing something wrong. The user and api token can curl the page without problems on the command line.
Before I re-write the rest calls myself (which I'd rather not), I thought it can't hurt to ask here.
