Api image upload error

Alexei14 days ago

Hi
I'm trying to upload image to a device, using API and I make the POST request:
url = f"{API_URL}/{device_id}/image" response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, verify=False)

As a payload I use:
payload = { "deviceImage": base64_image_with_prefix}

file is 300kb size, but I constantly face with:

Receive: Failed to upload image. Status code: 415
Response: HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type - NotSupportedException (... < OverrideFilter:49 < ...)
Image upload failed.

Tried to use: png, jpg, jpeg - nothing helped.
In API documentation there's nothing described and related to upload images for the devices. Forum messages do not solve the issue too

Hi Alexei,

You can try something like this:

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'image/jpeg',  # or 'image/png', depending on the image format
    # Add other necessary headers here
}

# Set the path to your image file
image_path = '/path/to/your/image.jpg'

# Define the correct API endpoint URL (/api/devices)
url = f"{API_URL}/devices/{device_id}/image"

# Open the image file in binary mode and send the POST request
with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file:
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=image_file)

# anything else from your code...

Thanks. In may case worked replaced header from "Content-Type": "application/json"
to "Content-Type": "image/jpeg"

In general process looks like:


    def upload_image(device_id, image_path):
    
     headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
        "Content-Type": "image/jpeg",
        "Accept": "application/json",
    }

    # Convert the image to base64 with MIME type prefix
    base64_image_with_prefix = convert_image_to_base64(image_path)
    
    # Prepare the JSON payload
    payload = {
        "deviceImage": base64_image_with_prefix
    }
    
    # Make the POST request
    url = f"{API_URL}/{device_id}/image"
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)

    # Handle response
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Image uploaded successfully!")
        return True
    else:
        print(f"Failed to upload image. Status code: {response.status_code}")
        print(f"Response: {response.text}")
        return False```
