API 3 upload image in python

[Jan Masar]

Hello

I'm working with etsy API 3 on my website and I'm stuck on how to upload image to my draft listing in python.

I was tryng all this solutions (try1 to try5):

url = f"https://openapi.etsy.com/v3/application/shops/{settings.ETSY_SHOP_ID}/listings/{listing_id}/images"

headers = {

    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",

    "x-api-key": settings.ETSY_API_KEY,

    "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"

}

image_file = open('static/images/CACHE/images/product/000063_1-dsc05556/test_file.jpg', 'rb')

read_image_file = image_file.read()

read_image_file_bytes = base64.b64encode(read_image_file)

read_image_file_bytes_str = "".join([format(n, 'b') for n in read_image_file_bytes])

try1 = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data={'image': img})

try2 = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data={'image': read_image_file})

try3 = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data={'image': read_image_file_bytes})

try4 = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data={'image': read_image_file_bytes_str})

# trying to set existing image from my other listing

try_5 = requests.post(url=url, headers=headers, data={'listing_image_id': 2853097528})

but I always get the same response:

{'error': 'Either a valid image file or a listing_image_id must be provided.'}

Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

Jan

This is a common problem. I'm also getting the same error using node js. Perhaps the team should really look into it and get back.

Hello,

Did you manage to solve this? I'm getting a similar error using node Js?

Here is what I've tried:

```

        const img = fs.readFileSync('./test.png');

        var urlencoded = new URLSearchParams();

        urlencoded.append("image", img)

        const requestOptions = {

            method: "POST",

            headers: {

                Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,

                "x-api-key": clientID,

                "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"

            },

            body: urlencoded,

        }

        const res = await fetch(url, requestOptions);

        const imageData = await res.json();

```

Hello,

Any solution, please?

[Jan Masar]

I have no solution yet. Right now I'm working on something else. If you find the solution feel free to share. Thank you ;)

Hello, I found the solution. The main key to the problem is sending "Content-Type" and that it's causing the error. My final code is:
files = {
"image": open(file_path, 'rb')
}
headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + user_token,
"x-api-key": X_API_KEY
