How to upload a file by API? #248

Closed gabdeevmaksim closed 2 years ago

gabdeevmaksim commented 2 years ago

Good afternoon!

I have a problem to upload a file by API.

In documentation there is an example of data form for myfile.txt --===============2521702492343980833== Content-Type: text/plain MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-disposition: form-data; name="request-json"

{"publicly_visible": "y", "allow_modifications": "d", "session": "XXXXXX", "allow_commercial_use": "d"} --===============2521702492343980833== Content-Type: application/octet-stream MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="myfile.txt"

Hello World

--===============2521702492343980833==--

But if I need to upload fits file in which format I need to write content of the fits file into data form instead "Hello world"?

I've tried to convert the image to a string and encode it like in client.py example.

But I'm always getting "This file's type is not supported."

Don't encode it or anything; it's just the simple file contents like open(fn).read(). https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/main/net/client/client.py#L177

If you want to tell me the submission ID, I can tell you what contents the server received.

Oh! Did't see that line. It'll be helpfull to write it in API documentation, for dummies like me. Thank you very mach for quick response!
