ServiceM8 Attachments API

  title: ServiceM8 REST Attachments API
  description: 'ServiceM8 is field service and job management software for trade and home-service businesses. The REST API is plain JSON over HTTP and closely follows REST principles: every resource (Job, Company, JobActivity, Attachment, and so on) has its own URL and is manipulated in isolation using GET, POST, and DELETE. The base URL is https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0 and each object type is exposed as a `.json` collection - for example GET /company.json lists companies and GET /company/{uuid}.json retrieves one. Creating a record is a POST to the collection; updating a record is a POST to the record URL; deleting is a DELETE to the record URL.


    Private integrations authenticate with an API key sent in the `X-API-Key` header. Public add-ons authenticate with OAuth 2.0 (authorize at https://go.servicem8.com/oauth/authorize, exchange the code at https://go.servicem8.com/oauth/access_token) and send a Bearer access token.


    Naming note: the ServiceM8 user interface term "Client" or "Customer" maps to the "Company" object in the API. Only a subset of ServiceM8 functionality is modeled here; ServiceM8 documents 60+ objects. Object endpoint filenames other than company.json, jobcontact.json, and companycontact.json (which are confirmed in ServiceM8''s own documentation) are modeled from ServiceM8''s documented resource index and its consistent lowercase object naming convention.'
