What's the secret to uploading images?

[petered]

Hey CalTopo-python-er(s),

Has anyone figured out the secret to uploading images?

From what I can tell, it's a 3-step dance.

1. POST request to https://caltopo.com/api/v1/media/<UUID_FOR_IMAGE> with a json payload {"properties":{"creator":"<USER_ID>","filename":"test_image.jpg","exifCreatedTZ":"America/Vancouver"}}

2. POST request to https://caltopo.com/api/v1/media/<UUID_FOR_IMAGE>/data with the json payload {"data":"/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBw0NDQ0.... <BIG LONG URL-SAFE BASE64-ENCODED IMAGE> ...}

3. POST request to https://caltopo.com/api/v1/map/<MAP_ID>/MapMediaObject containing the marker object, with reference to the image {"type":"Feature","id":null,"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[<LONGITUDE>,<LATITUDE>]},"properties":{"parentId":"","backendMediaId":"<UUID_FOR_IMAGE>","title":"test_image.jpg","heading":null,"description":"","marker-symbol":"aperture","marker-color":"#FFFFFF","marker-size":1}}

Step 1 works..
But I'm stuck at step 2 - getting a 500 server error in the response, and am at a bit of a loss as to why..

I'm working in Kotlin - otherwise I'd just post the code as a branch here.

Thanks all for any input! Will post the solution if I find it.

Thanks for investigating, I haven't tried this. Good luck and looking forward to seeing a solution. If you find the magic formula then we can put it on the enhancement task list.

Just noticed this issue from a year ago, while looking for an unrelated old issue.

Have you looked at the fairly-new API docs from caltopo? I'd guess that it might work for individual accounts too, though that is not technically supported or documented by caltopo.
