API REST : Trying to upload a file

Hi,

I'm looking for the code to upload a file with the REST API.

 

I'm trying that, but I've a "End-point not foundserveur" response :

 

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ??????-???-???-????-???????????" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -X POST https://api.ninoxdb.de/v1/teams/????????????????/databases/?????????/tables/G/records/6491/3505--61504-ACH.PDF

Do you have an idea ?

 

Thanks very much.

    @Jérôme

    I need to dig into this one myself one of these days.      You got the multpart/form-data correct...  The error about the end point makes sense to me because you are pointing to and endpoint that does not exist (https://api.ninoxdb.de/v1/teams/????????????????/databases/?????????/tables/G/records/6491/3505--61504-ACH.PDF) ...

    What I have yet to figure out is how to tell Ninox to write the file..   I do not have an enpoint that accepts a file to play with.. but I am wondering if setting the body to something like

    importFile(this, "https://static.ninoxdb.de/images/logo-ninox-new-2@2x.png")

    would work??

    Thanks Mconneen.

    I've found this in the REST API documentation :

    Upload File To A Record
    With the following request you can upload files to Ninox record

    Request

    POST https://api.ninoxdb.de/v1/teams/:teamid/databases/:databaseid/tables/:tableid/records/:recordid/files

    Content-Type

    Content-Type: multipart/form-data

    Valid File Names

    The name of the file to be uploaded should not contain the following special characters  \,/,*,?,>,<,|,"
    Response

    A response message saying "File Uploaded Successfully" with Content-Type = text/html and a status code of 200 OK

    Right... but the documentation does NOT indicate where /how to list the name of the file to be uploaded!

    The "GET" works.. but I cannot figure out the syntax of the post.. I keep getting an internal server error.. so something is off.. :(

    The GET works ? You can upload a file with the GET method ? How do you do that ?

    Thanks Mconneen !

    It's may be to fetch the files ? Doesn't it ?

    @Jérôme... Sorry for the confusion .. Yes .. your last statement is correct... I can GET / fetch a file using the GET method as defined in the documentation. 

    The POST returns an internal server error... Most likely because I cannot figure out the proper syntax to reference the file to upload.  

    In other programming languages.. (Java, Python, C#, etc) ... it is pretty simple to write to the byte stream...   Heck.. I was doing that back in 1998/99 and was the primary reason I purchased Jason Hunter's Java Servlet Programming!  Which.. by the way I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Java One conference.. :)
