I'm trying to use PiXhost's api to upload images. Every time I request something from it always returns 400 Bad request. Their API documentation uses python unirest package, but I can't install it as it seems to use too old code.
Am I doing something wrong here?
my code:
import requests
headers = {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8",
"Accept": "application/json"
}
params = {
"content_type": "0",
"max_th_size": "420"
}
files = {
"img": open("image.jpg", mode="rb")
}
response = requests.post("", headers=headers, params=params, files=files)

import requests
url = ""
payload={'content_type': '0',
'max_th_size': '420'}
files={
'img': ('1.JPG', open('C:/Users/prave/Desktop/1.JPG', 'rb')),
'content_type': '0',
'max_th_size': '420'
}
headers = {
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, files=files)
print(response)
Here you go
output :
Response 200
Issue with your code:
THe endpoint expects formdata , you are passing query parameter
So how did i figure it out
goto documentation and click curl tab to get curl equalent code:
Now goto postman and click import>Raw text > paste the curl , and click continue and then import
This creates the request for you
Now goto body and select img type as file and upload the file:
Now click code and generate equalent curl and python request code:
THe generated python code had few isseus one was to remove header completely and then to remove one slash from the file name.
Just a quick test, I managed to get it done via cURL
curl -X POST --include "" \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-F '[email protected]' \
-F 'content_type=0' \
-F 'max_th_size=420'
Note: the test1 image is in the same folder when I running the script
I also receive 400 status code without a body when removing the @ before the URL (so check you URL again)
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)
