Strapi is great but their document is really confusing. I spent about 2 hours trying to achieve this. When you create a new entry from REST API, you may also want to upload image to that entry.
1. REST API
Try make a POST request to
https://STRAPI_URL/api/upload
with the form-data:
ref: the table ID (ex: `api::submission.submission`)
refId: the entry ID
field: the field to upload
files: the file to upload
This is how we do it in Postman
2. Javascript SDK
strapi-js-sdk haven't supported upload file. Luckily, we can do it with a workaround.
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append(
"files",
blobFile,
"file-name.jpg"
);
formData.append("ref", "api::submission.submission");
formData.append("refId", entryId);
formData.append("field", "speakingAudio");
const response = await strapi.request("POST", "/upload", {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
},
data: formData,
});
