Error when adding the metadata field to upload method

[gaiar]

Bug report for Cloudinary Python SDK

Version freshly installed from pip

Describe the bug in a sentence or two.

metadata = {
    "brand_name" : brand_name,
    "brandID" : brandID
}

#{'brand_name': 'papillio', 'brandID': 'PA6'}

result = cloudinary.uploader.upload(
                    folder = "brand-logos",
                    file = path_to_logo,
                    public_id = "{}_{}".format(brandID, 1),
                    tags = brandID,
                    metadata = metadata
                )

This call returns a cryptic error

Error: Invalid value  for parameter kind

If I remove the metadata field, everything works fine

@gaiar this is because you are using the name of the Structured Metadata instead of the external_id. The following code works OK based on your settings:

metadata = {
    "brand_name" : 'papillio',
    "brandid" : 'PA6' --> This is the change
}

#{'brand_name': 'papillio', 'brandID': 'PA6'}

result = cloudinary.uploader.upload("url_of_file",public_id = "test_cloudinary",metadata = metadata)
