POST image cURL with header

Laercio · February 25, 2022, 5:14pm

Hello, I’m trying to send a photo file to an api. I’ve tried several ways, including the web post file block.
Researching, I saw that a lot of people used the K104 Terminal extension, so let this be my path too, but I don’t have any results from the server.
I must run:

curl --location --request POST 'https://.../user/photo' \
--header 'X-Authorization: key' \
--form 'file=@"/path/to/file"'

This is my block

I tried with this too
blocks (1)

Is it possible to do this in kodular?
Is the K104 extension the best solution for me?

You could try using Curl-to-Blocks by @Jerin_Jacob or Curl-to-Blocks - Convert Curl Request to Blocks by @HritikR

Thanks for the suggestion, but these sites don’t show how to upload the photo.
I had used this method before, but the server does not receive the photo.
PS. The server is working perfectly

And what is the API return?

With this blocks, nothing:

With this, not received the file:

Could you post a link to the api documentation ?

Laercio · February 25, 2022, 8:17pm

I don’t have the documentation link, but it’s working perfectly as I tested it with postman. Even this line was provided by postman.

curl --location --request POST 'https://.../user/photo' \
--header 'X-Authorization: key' \
--form 'file=@"/path/to/file"'

The server responds 200 in case of success or 400 in case of an error. If it’s a server error, it responds 500.
The submission is done with this header and the body in form-data with the attribute file.

In this app that I’m developing, it already consumes several api`s from this endpoint, only this photo upload that I can’t do through kodular.

Global foto is filled ?

It is important to understand if the api requires multi-part form data. If it does, it is unlikely you can use the web component to upload the file. You may be able to upload using the custom webview extension.

Great suggestion! I will study about this component. I’m new with kodular. I think this is the way. I’ll be back here with the result.

Hello @Laercio!! I’m struggling with the same problem, I create a endpoint API using FastAPI and Python and I want to POST an image using Kodular on the API.
Did you find any solution?
