Base 64 encoding issue

[aditi singhal]

Hello everyone,
I am testing the google vision api for ocr using postman for a local image. Passing the request body as

{

  "requests": [

    {

      "features": [

        {

          "type": "TEXT_DETECTION"

        }

      ],

        "image": {

"content": "value obtained from online image to base64 converter"

            }

    }

  ]

}

After sending request, I am getting 400 Bad request, with message also containing

"description": "Invalid value at 'requests[0].image.content' (TYPE_BYTES), Base64 decoding failed for.....

I think I am not putting base64 string in a correct format, can someone please help me out with the correct way.

Thanks

Hello,

I suggest you to use one of these options in the Cloud Shell of your project's console and copy/paste the content.

EG:

base64 input.jpg (to output the content in the Shell)

base64 input.jpg > output.txt (to output the content into a txt file)

Kind regards,
