Download Release Attachment via API

[noetzold]

Feature Description

When using the API to download release attachment via /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/{id}/assets/{attachment_id} a download link is provided. But downloading requires login. So, the use of this API call is verry limited. Is would be nice to have a way downloading the attachment with an access token.

Yes, this is the API call returning a “browser_download_url”
For example:
https://try.gitea.io/api/v1/repos/fnetx/testing-gitea-releases/releases/3318489/assets/2114?access_token=12345
"browser_download_url": "https://try.gitea.io/attachments/f505c259-0ccf-4b66-893d-1f4880f236aa"

But when using authorization a login with user/password is required for downloading the file.

well either add token auth to this endpoint or add a new endpoint ...

A new endpoint... Could you please explain it more widely?

#26430 should fix this issue.
