Downloading DevOps Test Plan attahcments from individual Test Run Result Steps.

Question

I am using the REST API of Azure DevOps Test Plans. I have test a test case defined, where there are steps to be performed, and have executed test runs on it, where there are screenshots associated with each step.

I want to download those screenshots using the rest api.

I can get the info about those screenshots with the following endpoint:
https://vstmr.dev.azure.com/{my_organization}/{my_project}/_apis/testresults/runs/{run_id}/results?detailsToInclude=5

This returns an object that has the attribute

"iterationDetails": [
{

 "id": 1,

 "attachments": [  
        {  
            "name": "myFile.png", 

            "url": "https://dev.azure.com/MyCo/MyProj/_apis/test/Runs/8847/Results/100000/Iterations/1/TestResultAttachments"

...
}

...

]}
]

I take the url and try to make a GET request to it, and I get a 404: Not Found response.

This is perplexing. Why would Azure reply with a URL that does not resolve?

Am I missing something here?

Is there another way to get those attachments?
