Upload a file attachment to a BookStack page

This project will produce an executable "BookStackConsole" binary that takes a path to any local file and attempt to upload it to a BookStack page as an attachment using the API using a multipart/form-data request.

This is very simplistic and has been written with very little c#/.net knowledge, it is only mean to serve as a working example.

Requirements

You will need .NET installed (Tested on .NET 5.0 on Fedora 35 Linux).

Running

First, download all the files in the same directory as this readme to a folder on your system and run the below from within that directory.

# Setup # ALTERNATIVELY: Open the program.cs file and add to the empty strings in the variables near the top. export BS_URL=https://bookstack.example.com # Set to be your BookStack base URL export BS_TOKEN_ID=abc123 # Set to be your API token_id export BS_TOKEN_SECRET=123abc # Set to be your API token_secret # Build with dotnet dotnet build # Running the script ./BookStackConsole/bin/Debug/net5.0/BookStackConsole <page_id> <file_path> 

• <page_id> - The ID of the page you want to upload the attachment to.
• <file_path> - File you want to upload as an attachment.

Examples

# Upload the 'cat-image-collection.zip' file as an attachment to page of ID 205 ./BookStackConsole/bin/Debug/net5.0/BookStackConsole 205 ./cat-image-collection.zip
