I want to attach image when creating a ticket using API.
Could you help me about this?
It's OK to send me document related to this requirement.

Thanks,

   Hi Simon,.

   You can send a file upload to ticket[attachment]

   Hey Simon,

   It depends on the programming language you are using, but here is a simple example with curl:

   curl -X PUT \
      -H "X-LighthouseToken: API_KEY" \
      -F "ticket[body]=Adding an attachment" \
      -F "ticket[attachment][]=@screenshot.png" \
      https://ACCOUNT.lighthouseapp.com/projects/XXXXX/tickets/XXXX.json
   

   The only caveat is that you need to modify the body, or any other field aside "attachment" to create a new comment. Simply attaching the file itself with no other change won't work.

   I used the API key method of authentication, but of course the user/password method would work as well.

   Let me know if you have any question.
