I have to list all the attachments of a discussion in a course. I don't know how to retrieve all the attachments URLs in a forum/discussion in Moodle LMS.
My code is in c# and usually, I call the Moodle REST API as http://localhost:8077/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=11e2d8b7f8e21ca1804e41e9cac5a812&wsfunction=core_course_get_contents&courseid=4&moodlewsrestformat=json and I can get the fileurl for the course files.
Likewise, I would like to retrieve forum/discussion files but I don't see any fileurl or something similar. I only see the response as below:

It would be great if someone guides me on the right path. Thank you very much in advance.
