How To Fetch Salesforce Attachment File Content With Django-Salesforce?

[elenakretova 0]

I'm building up a Django 1.11 application filling in as a UI for some Salesforce Objects utilizing django-salesforce for the correspondence with Salesforce. 

 

I need to give clients the choice to download records from Salesforce Attachment objects identified with their Contact. 

 

# Django Attachment demonstrate on my_app/models.py 

 

class Attachment(models.Model): 

 

parent = models.ForeignKey(Contact, models.DO_NOTHING, 

 

sf_read_only=models.NOT_UPDATEABLE) 

 

name = models.CharField(max_length=255, verbose_name='File Name') 

 

content_type = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True, null=True) 

 

body_length = models.IntegerField(sf_read_only=models.READ_ONLY) 

 

body = models.TextField() 

 

On this Attachment demonstrate I can get to the rest URL for the record content on the body field, yet not the real substance. 

 

Is there a method for getting document content from the Attachment without implementing an OAuth customer only for this?

Not sure I follow you here.

Is the information available publicly? If no then you would have to login with credentials in some way especially if you want to use their REST API.

You will need to get an app key, secret key and all that according to the docs.

Or are you just trying to parse the data somehow?
If so, from the sqlite DB?

 

Additionally, are you trying to use just Python, irongpython(cant) or Python with "execute python " plugin?
