Delete an attachment

DELETE https://chat.dpt.gba.gob.ar/api/v1/attachments/{attachment_id}

Delete an uploaded file given its attachment ID.

Note that uploaded files that have been referenced in at least one message are automatically deleted once the last message containing a link to them is deleted (whether directly or via a message retention policy).

Uploaded files that are never used in a message are automatically deleted a few weeks after being uploaded.

Attachment IDs can be contained from GET /attachments.

Usage examples

import zulip

# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")

# Delete the attachment with given attachment_id.

result = client.call_endpoint(
    url=url,
    method="DELETE",
