Hello,

I am posting some data from an external source to Indicium. It works fine, so everything is set up correct.

However I am also trying to upload a file. I am using a setup like this one:

I have tried a lot of variations in the body of the POST (not just the one below), but until now to no avail:

      "Attachment1_name": {

        "FileName": "example.txt"

        },

      "Attachment1_data": {

        "FileType": "text/plain",

        "FileData": "0x74657374"

        }

Does anybody have experience with this?

Hi Jurre,

Vincent explained it a while ago here: How to upload a file using Indicium 2021.1 | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)

"file_column": { "FileName": "picture.png", "File": <base64 encoded file data> }

So the varbinary data needs to be converted to Base64 first before included in a request.

Thank you, it works now!

I even read that post but for some mysterious reason I completely overlooked the base64 part 🤦🏻
