Request API with file

Hi,

I am trying to automate a test for an api endpoint that requires to upload a file. Here's the cURL for the request:

cURL --location 'http://localhost/bt_main/api/label_analyzer/analyze_image?include_work_product=true' \
--header 'x-bt-client-id: API_TEST_CLIENT' \
--header 'x-bt-client-instance-id: *' \
--header 'x-bt-client-version: 1.14.0' \
--header 'x-bt-auth: \
--header 'Cookie: JSESSIONID=54D4DB7529E99AD5C02FA9B8C774335B' \
--form 'file=@/C:/Users/karlo/sahipro/scripts/BearTracks/data/001.jpg'

On Sahi Pro, the generated script is this:

$request = new RESTRequest();
$request.setURL("https://localhost/bt_main/api/label_analyzer/analyze_image");
$request.addToQueryString("include_work_product", "true");
$request.setHeader("x-bt-client-id", "API_TEST_CLIENT");
$request.setHeader("x-bt-client-instance-id", "*");
$request.setHeader("x-bt-client-version", "1.14.0");
$request.setHeader("x-bt-auth", "");
$request.setHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
$request.addToBody("file", "sahi-file://C:/Users/karlo/Documents/001.jpg");
$response = $request.submit("POST");
var $responseBody = $response.getBodyAsString();

the problem here is that I always get a HTTP 400 error response.

any idea how to get this working?

Notes: the endpoint is working fine when request is executed in Postman

Answers

  • HTTP 400 implies bad request. Possibly, something is missing in your request. To debug this, you can open the Postman console (Ctrl+Alt+C), and observe the request headers and request body. Verify if it is added in Sahi Rest request.

    P.S You can easily import a request from Postman, using Sahi Pro v11.1.
