How do I download attachments associated to custom objects using the Rest API available with Oracle B2C Service?

Environment:

Oracle B2C Service - all releases

Connect Rest API - all supported versions

Resolution:

In order to retrieve the attachments for a custom object, the same type of request needs to be performed, with a slight change in syntax, as opposed to when downloading attachments for standard objects.

The syntax is as follows:

https://your_site_interface/services/rest/connect/version/resource/resource_id
/FileAttachments/FileAttachment_id?download

Note the capital "F" in "FileAttachments", as opposed to "f" when downloading attachments for standard objects:

https://your_site_interface/services/rest/connect/version/resource(/resource_id
/fileAttachments/FileAttachment_id?download ---> standard objects request
