Currently, the only way to retrieve an attachment in Confluence Cloud is through the v2 REST API (The Confluence Cloud REST API). However, the API response only includes the author’s ID (authorId), and obtaining the author’s name or details requires making an additional API call to the user endpoint. This results in increased latency and inefficiency, especially when processing multiple attachments.

Feature request:

1. Provide an option (such as a query parameter) in the REST API to include author information (e.g., name, accountId) directly in the attachment response.

1. Alternatively, provide a GraphQL API for attachments, allowing retrieval of both attachment and author details in a single request.
