API BUG

[matthieugoua]

i'm testing V3.2.6

i'am a bug in api

curl http://images.pulsation.me.uk:81/CH...iler_de_woolfe_the_red_hood_diaries-15554.jpg

this is ok

with my personal image

curl http://images.pulsation.me.uk:81/CH...t&key=*****************&source=parenthese.jpg

done "Invalid base64 string"

Base 64 string is very sensitive and it must be sent using POST. You could try to use _FILES.

2 days more than 15 hours was trying to run the api and this still does not work

Too bad but I think I'll have to stay on 2.6.0 or I have no concern

version 3 really liked me

Most likely you are doing it wrong by using the base64 method. Problem with base64 is that php will only accept strict base64 and that could be a nightmare, it has happened before guys use the base64 method using a certain base64 converter and php says "nope, invalid base64". Thats why you can also use a conventional file object which doesn't needs the base64 conversion.

And the funny thing is that the API from Chevereto 2 is almost the same as the one in Chevereto 3 and regarding the base64 handling is exactly the same code. Exactly the same thing.

Lately I've been working with other APIs and mostly of those encourage users to rely in the file method (just a simple from multipart) rather than use the base64 and Chevereto does the same thing, if you can get this to work using base64 then use form file.

By the way, &source=file.jpg won't work. Ever. It must be &source=<base64> or source = multipart file.

my V2 script is

#!/bin/bash

function xup
{
image=$1;
ext=${image##*.}

if (echo $image | grep -iqE '^http(s)?://')
then
  curl_opt="upload=$image"
else
  curl_opt="upload=@$image"
fi

imgreel=`curl -s -X POST --header "Expect:" -F "$curl_opt" "http://images.pulsation.me.uk:81/api?format=txt&key=6vh*******"`

echo $imgreel | sed 's/:81//'
}

xup $1

my V3 should be

#!/bin/bash

function xup
{
image=$1;
ext=${image##*.}

if (echo $image | grep -iqE '^http(s)?://')
then
  curl_opt="source=$image"
else
  curl_opt="source=@$image"
fi

imgreel=`curl -s -X POST --header "Expect:" -F "$curl_opt" "http://images.pulsation.me.uk:81/CHEV3/api/1/upload/?format=txt&key=85d3a**************"`

echo $imgreel | sed 's/:81//'
}

xup $1

impossible but it works
