softsan commented 8 years ago

Hi, I want to integrate lets chat in Xamarin.forms application. so i am thinking to go through REST API, But i didnt find any method for uploading a file using REST API in documentation.

So can you please guide me how to do that?

Thanks.

There are two paths available:

/rooms/<roomid>/files
/files (requires a parameter called room w/ an id)

Here's an example via curl:

curl http://localhost:5000/rooms/**SOMEROOMID**/files --header "authorization: Bearer **TOKENGOESHERE**" -F 'file=@**/path/to/wow.jpg**'

There's also a parameter called post, which if set to true should also past a url link of the file in chat.

Shouldn't this be a POST call?
