Uploading Product Photo via API

Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm trying to programmatically upload photos to my products (https://developers.squarespace.com/commerce-apis/upload-product-image).

CURL Requests via Insomnia will work, but I cannot for the life of me get uploads via Python working. 

My code (generated from a working Insomnia request):

url = "https://api.squarespace.com/1.0/commerce/products/MY_PRODUCT_ID/images"
payload = "-----011000010111000001101001\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"MY_FILE_NAME.jpg\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n\r\n-----011000010111000001101001--\r\n"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer MY_TOKEN",
    "User-Agent": "MY_USER_AGENT",
    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001"
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)

I keep hitting this error:

"The provided file could not be read as an image."

Has anyone done this before? What am I missing? If anyone has code examples from any language I'm happy to reverse engineer!

Hello @ksho,

Thanks for posting your question!

This example currently works for me, though I am not exactly sure the syntax in your example is correct:
 

import requests

url = "https://api.squarespace.com/1.0/commerce/products/<product id>/images"

files=[
  ('file',('<filename>',open('<path to image>','rb'),'image/jpeg'))
]
headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer <api key>',
  'User-Agent': '<your user-agent>'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, files=files)

print(response.text)

Also, check that your images meets the platform requirements

Let me know if this resolves the issue!
