In the Django Framework I would like to post a file, received as an InMemoryUploadedFile, to a different server as soon as it is received.
I Have tried the solution in Django - post InMemoryUploadedFile to external REST api but the solution did not work for me.
Curl request given by External API:
curl --location --request POST 'https://app-sh.exmp.com/api/cret' \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--header 'api-key: Aa4f*******' \
--form 'kyc_doc=@/C:/Users/Shine/Downloads/image.png' \
--form 'company_name=name' \
--form 'company_country=IN' \
--form 'email=abc@xyz.com'
How do I convert following into request.post() ?
From my current functional flow, the file is not sent to external api. Here is my code:
views.py
def processUpload(request):
data['company_country'] = request.POST.get('company_country')
data['company_name'] = request.POST.get('company_name')
#upload file
data['kyc_doc'] = request.FILES['kyc_doc'].file.getvalue()
files = {"kyc_doc":request.FILES['kyc_doc'].file.getvalue()}
return service.doCurl(data,files)
service.py
def doCurl(data,files):
#.....
# business logic here
#
del data['common_user_token']
response_kcloud = curl.post('https://app-sh.exmp.com/api/cret',data,{ "api-key":acc.api_key},files)
curl.py
def post(url,data,headers,ufile=None):
curlheaders = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
#empty data
if not data:
raise Exception("data cannot be empty")
#empty url
if not url:
raise Exception("Url cannot be empty")
#base case for header
if headers:
for key in headers:
curlheaders[key] = headers[key]
if ufile is None:
return requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=curlheaders)
else:
return requests.post(url, data=data, headers=curlheaders,files=ufile)
