Hi all,

I am trying to write a Python script to test my iOS app's API server is running and functioning correctly. I have connected and authenticated with the server fine by logging in using the website credentials. The problem I am having is passing the 'uploaddata' payload into the 'r = requests.post' and getting it to successfully upload the file. The script doesn't return any errors through Terminal but doesn't upload the file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Will

import json
import requests

url = 'www.yoururl.com/login.php'
payload = {'email': 'email', 'password': 'password', 'submit': 'log in'}

r = requests.post(url, data = payload)

uploadurl = 'www.yoururl.com'
files = open('/Users/Will/Desktop/APITestDoc.doc', 'rb')

uploaddata = {"file": "APITestDoc.doc", "path": "/Users/Will/Desktop/APITestDoc.doc", "name": "APITestDoc.doc", "redirect": "/"}
headers = {'Content-Disposition': 'form-data'}

r = requests.post(url, data = json.dumps(uploaddata))

Maybe this is what you're actually looking for.

Thanks for the reply. I spent ages going through the documentation initially but still couldn't get it to upload a file...
