Not able to download attachments programmatically

It used to work but after recent upgrade to Jira 8.20.1 now I cannot download JIRA attachment programmatically. Previously when my dot net program used to execute the url (https://issues.ngptools.com/jira/secure/attachment/1197574/ADV-48936-09576.csv?&os_username=xxxxxxx&os_password=xxxxxxxxxx) it used to download the file but now it is not working and giving error, I am receiving a "permissionViolation=true"

Is there any different way to download attachment now?

That will not work anymore indeed. See JRASERVER-38548

Try using basic authentication. This means you will have to provide the credentials encoded with base64 in a request header.

And as you're using this in some custom program it would be even better to use a personal access token in you basic auth header.

@Charlie Misonne thank you, I was able to get the attachment using personal access token.

OK! Glad I could help :-)
