Invalid data input when doing POST for product image.

AQM · December 2021

Hi,

I have code which works on my development machine, but not on the production server. I can't figure out why. The error I get is too cryptic.

{"error":{"code":400,"method":"CREATE","request":"\/nl\/products\/128766768\/images.json","message":"Invalid data input."}}

I checked the requests which seems fine. Contents of data array in attachment.

data.txt

I decoded this with an online tool, the image works fine. You can try it out here: https://devpal.co/base64-image-decode/

I am using the seoshop/seoshop-php package as a client like this: $this->client->productsImages->create($productId, $data);

It works locally, not on production. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Hi @AQM,

Thank you for contacting us.

In your data.txt I see that you're sending data:image/jpeg;base64, this isn't needed. Please send it like I did below:

To convert the image to a base64 encode I used this code:

<?php

$path = '/path/to/file/image.png';
$type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$data = file_get_contents($path);
$base64 = base64_encode($data);

print_r($base64);

I hope this helps.

Hi Lucien,

Thanks for your reply. The thing is, it works on my development machine. The images are added to the products over the API. I can see product images in de backend of our Lightspeed app.

I just tried your suggestion. Now I get the following error on production:

Hi,

Please use the code Lucien sent to encode your image:

<?php

$path = '/path/to/file/image.png';
$type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$data = file_get_contents($path);
$base64 = base64_encode($data);

print_r($base64);
