File type Request Parameter in REST API

10:24 Sep 30, 2021

Hi Community,

I am trying to make a request from Creatio to the HTTP REST API Endpoints. |Where File should be added to the API request.

Is there any way to work with the File type request Parameter in Rest API from Creatio? If yes, please suggest to me how I can achieve this.

An example of an API call from Postman is something like as per below :

Hi Patrik,

To successfully upload an image you need to make sure that "WebDav publishing" feature is disabled in Windows features of the IIS server (can be found at "World wide web services" -> "Common HTTP Features" -> "WebDAVPublishing"):

Once done you need to perform the following steps:

1) Create a POST request to https://app_root_URL/0/odata/SysImage with the JSON raw body with the following content:

{
    "Name": "scr_NewContactPhoto.png",
    "Id": "330006E1-CA4E-4502-A9EC-E54D922D2C01",
    "MimeType": "image/png"
}

330006E1-CA4E-4502-A9EC-E54D922D2C01 should be a random unique identifier. This request will create a record in the SysImage table and the response should be similar to the below:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://app_root_URL/0/odata/$metadata#SysImage/$entity",
    "Id": "330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01",
    "CreatedOn": "2021-09-30T10:24:26.830457Z",
    "CreatedById": "410006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c00",
    "ModifiedOn": "2021-09-30T10:24:26.830457Z",
    "ModifiedById": "410006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c00",
    "ProcessListeners": 0,
    "UploadedOn": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "Name": "scr_NewContactPhoto.png",
    "Data@odata.mediaEditLink": "SysImage(330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01)/Data",
    "Data@odata.mediaReadLink": "SysImage(330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01)/Data",
    "Data@odata.mediaContentType": "application/octet-stream",
    "MimeType": "image/png",
    "HasRef": false,
    "PreviewData@odata.mediaEditLink": "SysImage(330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01)/PreviewData",
    "PreviewData@odata.mediaReadLink": "SysImage(330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01)/PreviewData",
    "PreviewData@odata.mediaContentType": "application/octet-stream"
}

2) Create a PUT request to https://app_root_URL/0/odata/SysImage(330006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c01)/Data with the binary body and select an image there:
