I'm sorry I feel like I'm starting to take over this forum.

I am trying to upload a image and I'm getting the error Image file or image_id string must be included. I'm including the raw request and the returned headers. Perhaps someone can spot something I'm doing incorrectly here. Or maybe Etsy API can shed some light on what they are actually receiving.

Thanks in advance.

Although the goal is not to use the php implementation I'm posting a test I did with it where I'm getting the same results. Maybe useful maybe not one can only hope.

<?php

$consumer_key = '[masked]';
$consumer_secret = '[masked]';
$access_token = '[masked]';
$access_token_secret = '[masked]';

$oauth = new OAuth( $consumer_key, $consumer_secret, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);

$oauth->setNonce ( 'random' );
$oauth->enableDebug();
$oauth->setRequestEngine( OAUTH_REQENGINE_CURL );
$oauth->setToken($access_token, $access_token_secret);

$source_file = dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) ."/Poly1.jpg";

if ( file_exists( $source_file ) ) {

	try {
	
		$parameterss = array('@image' => '@'.$source_file.';type=image/jpeg');
		$url = "https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/200094932/images";
		$data = $oauth->fetch( $url, $parameters, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST);
		$json = $oauth->getLastResponse();
	
		print_r(json_decode($json, true));
	
	} catch (OAuthException $e) {
	
		print_r($oauth->debugInfo);
		exit;
	}
	
} else {
	
	echo 'image not found';
	
}

?>

You have to upload a "multipart/form-data" where the message + body of the post looks like this:

POST https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/private/listings/194425788/images?oauth_consumer_key=&oauth_nonce=&oauth_signature=&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=&oauth_token=&oauth_version=1.0

Content-Length: 269

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=xYzZY

--xYzZY

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image"; filename="fotofuze.jpg"

Content-Type: image/jpeg

[76887 random characters]

--xYzZY

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="rank"

1

--xYzZY

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="overwrite"

1

--xYzZY--

Notice how the message has a Content-Type (multipart/form-data) and the image has it's own Content-Type (image/jpeg). My spacing might be a little off, but this should get you in the right direction.

I'm trying to upload image via PHP OAuth

$oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION);
$oauth->setToken($access_token, $access_token_secret);
$url = "https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/277895742/images";
$data = array('image' =>'@folder/pixel.jpg'); // also tried to provide full path from /wwwroot
$headers = array("Content-Type" => "multipart/form-data"); // also tried to add Content-Length
$oauth->fetch($url, $data, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST, $headers);

With this I got an error:

Invalid auth/bad request (got a 400, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect)

with message in debug info: "the request body is too large".
Where can the problem be? Image is 1x1 pixel, I also tried 250x250. Maybe I shouldn't use $oauth and pass raw image data via sockets or file_get_contents with stream_context?

Thanks in advance.

this is my workaround:

First install PECL Oauth 1.2.3 in Ubuntu:

sudo pecl install oauth-1.2.3

edit php.ini:

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

add next line:

extension=oauth.so NOT at final of php.ini

restart service:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

The code

try

{
	//initialize oauth
	$oauth2 = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);
	$oauth2->setRequestEngine( OAUTH_REQENGINE_CURL );
	$oauth2->setVersion("1.1");	//very important
	$oauth2->enableDebug();
	$oauth2->setToken($access_token, $access_token_secret);
	
    //params
	$listing_id = '4564613216';	//id of a listing/product
	$url = "https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/".$listing_id."/images";
	$filename = "image.jpg";
	$source_file = dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) ."/images/$filename";
	$mimetype = mime_content_type($source_file);
	$filesize = filesize($source_file);
	$params = array('@image' => '@'.$source_file.';type='.$mimetype); 
	
	//buid some header params
	$header["Content-Type"] = 'multipart/form-data';
	$header["Content-Length"] = $filesize;
	$header["Content-Disposition"] = 'form-data; name="image"; filename="image.jpg"';
	$header["Content-Transfer-Encoding"] = 'binary';
	
	//execute 
	$data = $oauth2->fetch($url, $params, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST, $header);
	$json = $oauth2->getLastResponse();

    print_r(json_decode($json, true));
} 
catch (OAuthException $e) 
{

    // You may want to recover gracefully here...
    print $oauth2->getLastResponse()."\n";
    print_r($oauth2->debugInfo);
    die($e->getMessage());
}

$oauth2 = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI);

$oauth2->setRequestEngine( OAUTH_REQENGINE_CURL );

$oauth2->setVersion("1.1");

$oauth2->enableDebug();

$oauth2->setToken($db->f('access_token'), $db->f('access_token_secret'));

$url = "https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/".$listing_id."/images";

$filename = "wall.jpg";

$source_file = dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) ."/images/$filename";

$mimetype = mime_content_type($source_file);

$filesize = filesize($source_file);

$params = array('@image' => '@'.$source_file.';type='.$mimetype);

$header["Content-Type"] = 'multipart/form-data';

$header["Content-Length"] = $filesize;

$header["Content-Disposition"] = 'form-data; name="image"; filename="wall.jpg"';

$header["Content-Transfer-Encoding"] = 'binary';

$data = $oauth2->fetch($url, $params, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST, $header);

$json = $oauth2->getLastResponse();

here is my code:

Enter code here...var oauth = {

Thanks - this put me on the right track. Above code worked - but I had to install libcurl4-gnutls-dev and libpcre3-dev before installing oauth using pecl. This was needed to make OAUTH_REQENGINE_CURL work (and without this setting, image upload failed).
