I'm currently trying to send a POST request to my flask restful service that will generate a model to be saved to the database. This model will include a url to an image that is hosted through cloudinary along with other data like date and name
My issue is that in Postman i'm only allowed to send form-data or raw which will include the json. I'm able to upload to cloudinary and receive the url needed, however i'm unable to get the json from the request so i'm unable to completely generate a model to be saved.
image_json = request.get_json() returns None
My question is if i'm only allowed to send one or the either raw or form-data How am i supposed to get the image and the corresponding data needed to save the model?
from cloudinary.uploader import upload from cloudinary.utils import cloudinary_url from flask_restful import Resource from flask import request from models.image import ImageModel from schemas.image import ImageSchema image_schema = ImageSchema() image_list_schema = ImageSchema(many=True) class Image(Resource): @classmethod def post(cls): image_to_upload = request.files["image"] if image_to_upload: upload_result = upload(image_to_upload) url = cloudinary_url(upload_result['public_id'], format="jpg", crop="fill", width=100,height=100)[0] full_size_url = cloudinary_url(upload_result['public_id'], format="jpg", crop="fill", width=200, height=100, radius=20, effect="sepia")[0] image_json = request.get_json() # this returns None image_json["url"] = url image_json["full_size_url"] = full_size_url image = image_schema.load(image_json) try: image.save_to_db() except: return {"message": "error uploading file"} return image_schema.dump(image), 201 return {"message": "no image uploaded"}, 401
