Uploading Product Photo via API

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!

Hi,

If you haven't still solved this yet, you can post on some FB groups

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!

What fixed it for me was NOT to add the below in the headers

 "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data;"

This worked for me as well
