Upload multiple images to one photoset

[Miloshes]

Hi guys,

I would like to create a photoset through tymblr's API. I can upload
pictures separately but can't figure out how to upload them to one
photoset.

Documentation says:
data parameter

Array
(URL-encoded binary contents)

One or more image files (submit multiple times to create a slide show)

I don't know what they mean by submit multiple times..

Please help.

we also want to know how to do that.

The docs are bit unclear but need to submit the photos data attached to fields like - data[0] , data[1] - etc.  Hopefully this helps.

we have try that, but it do not work as expected, only the first
photo upload correctly. can not see the next one.

code like blow:
[asiRequest addData:data1 forKey:@"data[0]"];
[asiRequest addData:data2 forKey:@"data[1]"];

[Derek Gottfrid]

Ah we pushed a fix for this this morning. Can you try again? 

[HoLin]

Still not work.

we use objective-c, code:

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest
requestWithURL:url];
...
...
[request addFile:@"/Users/holin/Desktop/ben.jpg" forKey:@"data[0]"];
[request addData:imageData withFileName:@"george.jpg"
andContentType:@"image/jpeg" forKey:@"data[1]"];


We cannot find any example code about Tumblr API usage :(

[Miloshes]

Could you guys provide any working example please?

That would really help..

I have the same question -- also, can this be done with photo urls
(make a photoset with a list of urls)? The documentation seems to
indicate no...

Here is a working example in python

YMMV - please feel free to fork/improve

Thanks. Any idea how to implement this in iOS? Why can't we just post
multipart form data? See my question:

I think I've figured it out -- see my response to the question on

What about captions per image? Are there fields like - caption[0] , caption[1] - etc. too?

Hi Derek,

I could successfully create a post with single image.

But I struggling with multiple images in a post via API too. I am including a link to the log file that has the post request that I sent to tumblr API. It has fields like data[0], data[1] as you suggested in your earlier post. However, I see that only the first image is included in the post. The second one doesn't show up. Here's the link to the post that was create by the above request (http://junkshunclicks.tumblr.com/post/11170452148/test-post).

Log file:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/127327/multipart-form-data_request.log

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Mahesh.

hi, i am using ASIFormDataRequest too i am not even able to upload one photo, any advise?

[request addData:data forKey:@"data[0]"];

it returns {"meta":{"status":401,"msg":"Not Authorized"},"response":[]}

with this 

 

[request addData:data forKey:@"data"];

{"meta":{"status":400,"msg":"Bad Request"},"response":{"errors":["Please select a photo to upload."]}}

many thanks,

[Steven Pears]

The array idea didn't seem to work. Really need a sample HTTP request
