I need an api that returns the information about the maximum permissible size of an attachment

I need to inform the users about the maximum permissible size of an attachment before uploading any

Hi @Hussein Dbouk 

the maximum size allowed can be fetched via the following API endpoint:

<your cloud url>/rest/api/3/attachment/meta

Documentation can be found here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-attachments/#api-rest-api-3-attachment-meta-get

Hi @Kai Becker  I wanna thank you so much for your support , it really helped on the cloud instances but I was wondering if this is possible on data center instances.
Thanks ,
Regards.

Hi @Hussein Dbouk 

glad I helped. To finish this up: The information can also be queried on onprem

<jiraBaseUrl>/rest/api/2/attachment/meta

Hi @Kai Becker im really thankful , I feel embarrassed to be honest because I searched for this api in the documentation  https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/9.3.0/#api/2/attachment-getAttachmentMeta  , passed over it and still didn't see it,
Thanks for the support again , I really appreciate it

Hi @Balaji Shriram Murkute thank you for your support , the community leader Kai Becker provided me with the following api call 

<your cloud url>/rest/api/3/attachment/meta

as it is the one that reveals the maximum permissible size of uploading an attachment 
Thank you
