Iam trying to upload a picture and a information over an API that requires to be send as a form. I tried to use the "files" option, that requests provides with no success. It gives me the following error:
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'read'
The line of code I tried is:
r = requests.post(url, headers=header, files = {'imageFile' : open('test_pic/1.jpg'), 'ticket' : ticket}, verify=False)
Cheers Florian
files = {'imageFile' : open('test_pic/1.jpg'), 'ticket' : ticket}
Is the ticket of type int? I just got the same problem, the value in files must be str or bytes or bytearray or a file object(this will cause a read action)，see details in requests's models.py(function _encode_files())
There are a couple of things to try:
If you're using Windows make sure to add a b to the file permissions for open:
open('filename', 'rb')
This will make sure that the file is read as a binary which otherwise can cause some errors
When sending multiple files, you need to pass in a list of tuples, and not a dictionary:
>>> multiple_files = [('images', ('foo.png', open('foo.png', 'rb'), 'image/png')),
('images', ('bar.png', open('bar.png', 'rb'), 'image/png'))]
>>> r = requests.post(url, files=multiple_files)
This is according to the online documentation.
