Can’t upload image on wordpress with python api

    This is my python function to save images and upload them on my website

    def uploadImage(image_url, sku):

    url='https://website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media'

    user_agent = UserAgent().random

    headers = {"User-Agent": user_agent}

    #Image download

    img_data = requests.get(image_url, headers=headers).content

    with open(f'{sku}.jpg', 'wb') as handler:

        handler.write(img_data)

    media = {'file': open(f'{sku}.jpg',"rb")}

    user = "user"

    password = "XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX"

    credentials = user + ':' + password

    token = base64.b64encode(credentials.encode())

    res = requests.post(url= url,

                        headers={ 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + token.decode('utf-8')},

                        files= media,

                       )

    print(res)

    For the auth I use Application Passwords plugin

    res?is 200 and if I print?res.json()?it returns a list of the images I have on my website, but the image is not uploaded, there is no error in the response or the image filename.

    Tried with different users and also disabling all plugins, but nothing changed. Tried also with auth with username and password and had the same problem

    Current version: 6.1.1

    I’m not that good with Python, but it looks like you’re missing some crucial header information. An example that supposedly works from StackOverflow:

    def restImgUL(imgPath):
    url='https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media'
    data = open(imgPath, 'rb').read()
    fileName = os.path.basename(imgPath)
    res = requests.post(url='https://xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media',
                        data=data,
                        headers={ 'Content-Type': 'image/jpg','Content-Disposition' : 'attachment; filename=%s'% fileName},
                        auth=('authname', 'authpass'))
    # pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4) ## print it pretty. 
    # pp.pprint(res.json()) #this is nice when you need it
    newDict=res.json()
    newID= newDict.get('id')
    link = newDict.get('guid').get("rendered")
    print newID, link
    return (newID, link)

    I hope this helps some.

    I already tried it before asking here and got the same result. So 200 but the image is not uploaded

    For the auth I use Application Passwords plugin

    The plugin is not necessary with v6.1.1, functionality is now built into core WP. I wonder if the two together is causing some sort of validation conflict. Deactivate the plugin and create a new password in a user profile that has adequate upload capability. If the current password from the plugin should appear in the profile, I recommend removing it and using the new one. The current one may still be valid without the plugin, but why chance it? IMO better to stay fully within the core password scheme.

    There are a number of cURL examples that do work. You could use one of them to upload, with the goal being to examine what sort of request cURL is sending, in particular which headers. Configure your Python to send exactly the same sort of request.

    I found out that I get 200 and the list of images because when I POST wp-json/wp/v2/media I get a redirect 301. Still don’t know how to solve this

    Found the problem… there was a redirect from mywbsite.com to https://www.mywebsite.com.

    Using www works
