PiXhost's API- upload images

I'm trying to use PiXhost's api to upload images. Every time I request something from it always returns 400 Bad request. Their API documentation uses python unirest package, but I can't install it as it seems to use too old code.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Link to documentation

my code:

import requests headers = { "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8", "Accept": "application/json" } params = { "content_type": "0", "max_th_size": "420" } files = { "img": open("image.jpg", mode="rb") } response = requests.post("", headers=headers, params=params, files=files)

import requests url = "" payload={'content_type': '0', 'max_th_size': '420'} files={ 'img': ('1.JPG', open('C:/Users/prave/Desktop/1.JPG', 'rb')), 'content_type': '0', 'max_th_size': '420' } headers = { } response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, files=files) print(response) 

Here you go

output :

Response 200

Issue with your code:

THe endpoint expects formdata , you are passing query parameter

So how did i figure it out

goto documentation and click curl tab to get curl equalent code:

Now goto postman and click import>Raw text > paste the curl , and click continue and then import

This creates the request for you

Now goto body and select img type as file and upload the file:

Now click code and generate equalent curl and python request code:

THe generated python code had few isseus one was to remove header completely and then to remove one slash from the file name.

Just a quick test, I managed to get it done via cURL

curl -X POST --include "" \ -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -F '[email protected]' \ -F 'content_type=0' \ -F 'max_th_size=420' 

Note: the test1 image is in the same folder when I running the script

I also receive 400 status code without a body when removing the @ before the URL (so check you URL again)
