Problem with /api/documents/{id}/versions/

[rosarior]

Thanks for the report. The issue has been added to the queue to diagnose and fix.

I was unable to replicate the error. The API worked as expected.

Here are some issues with your code sample:

Code: Select all

with open(pdf, mode='rb') as file_object: 
    requests.post('*/api/documents/{id}/versions/',auth=('admin','password'),files={'file':file_object},json={'comment':'new-upload'})

the URL must be in the form: "http://<your IP address>/api/documents/<actual ID of the document>/versions/"

Example:

If you have a Mayan install at 192.168.1.1 that contains a document with an ID of 5 the URL would be:

"http://192.168.1.1/api/documents/5/versions/"

The other issue is that the json argument is for requests that return data, to send data use the 'data' argument like so:

Code: Select all

with open(pdf, mode='rb') as file_object: 
    requests.post('http://192.168.1.1/api/documents/5/versions/', auth=('admin', 'password'), files={'file': file_object}, data={'comment': 'new upload'})

Give this a try and let us know it works or there are other issues. Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to do the same thing and I'm having problems with the

Code: Select all

files={'file': file_object}

part. Can you bring me an example of the file_object value?

Thanks!
Lucas.
