Upload image

For example we use cURL to upload the image.

curl -X PUT \
    http://image.local-domain:5000/api/v0/image \
    -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data' \
    -F 'file=@/path/to/your/image.png;type=image/png' \
    -F username=1a339c02-404a-4b66-9fbb-cb30fb417c14 \
    -F 'password=knwAAOfLBcnkWzGxo0G/ZUzq9ukLb+gf5H/1nmPr7BE+im03qZarW4TvwVepYmi/cg9dEw+N4HDfLqQRfXBSdNawy7YkOQgwOYiRRq3t2PSjYd+Pme4SrMWUE1BYW5rt' \
    -F 'description=Image #1'

We got the result:

{
    "return": {
        "success": {
            "file_name": "ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "path": "/serve/image/1/ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "thumbnail": "/serve/thumbnail/1/ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "description": "Dog's Image"
        }
    }
}

You can go to http://image.local-domain:5000/serve/image/1/ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg to see your image.

Update your image’s description

curl -X POST \
      http://image.local-domain:5000/api/v0/image \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d '{
        "username": "1a339c02-404a-4b66-9fbb-cb30fb417c14",
        "password": "knwAAOfLBcnkWzGxo0G/ZUzq9ukLb+gf5H/1nmPr7BE+im03qZarW4TvwVepYmi/cg9dEw+N4HDfLqQRfXBSdNawy7YkOQgwOYiRRq3t2PSjYd+Pme4SrMWUE1BYW5rt",
        "filename": "ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
        "description": "Cat's image"
    }'

Then we got the similar result of create new image:

{
    "return": {
        "success": {
            "file_name": "ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "path": "/serve/image/1/ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "thumbnail": "/serve/thumbnail/1/ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
            "description": "Cat's Image"
        }
    }
}

Delete an image

curl -X DELETE \
      http://image.local-domain:5000/api/v0/image \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d '{
        "username": "1a339c02-404a-4b66-9fbb-cb30fb417c14",
        "password": "knwAAOfLBcnkWzGxo0G/ZUzq9ukLb+gf5H/1nmPr7BE+im03qZarW4TvwVepYmi/cg9dEw+N4HDfLqQRfXBSdNawy7YkOQgwOYiRRq3t2PSjYd+Pme4SrMWUE1BYW5rt",
        "filename": "ca4ffe9f192f4f358e4981ceaafd8068.jpg",
    }'
