API - Upload a picture - uploadAsset

Hello, the current uploadAsset doesn't work? I want to upload an image via node js and I always get an error message. I feel like I have recreated and tested the API key 100 times. (/user-settings -> API key) https://immich.app/docs/api/upload-asset/

  const axios = require('axios');
  const FormData = require('form-data');
  const fs = require('fs');
  let data = new FormData();

  data.append('assetData', fs.createReadStream('H:\\Git\\bilder\\Neu\\backend\\uploads\\1351335.png'));
  data.append('deviceAssetId', 'assetTest');
  data.append('deviceId', 'deviceTest');
  data.append('fileCreatedAt', '2024-12-27T11:02:39');
  data.append('fileModifiedAt', '2024-12-27T11:02:39');
  
  
  let config = {
    method: 'post',
    maxBodyLength: Infinity,
    url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8980/api/assets?key=z8vuYdyn3loVPP8DhBx6S0Zh2aKiU3T8CzVoT7jDZIs',
    headers: { 
      'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data', 
      'Accept': 'application/json', 
      ...data.getHeaders()
    },
    data : data
  };
  
  
  axios.request(config)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

  const axios = require('axios');
  const FormData = require('form-data');
  const fs = require('fs');
  let data = new FormData();

  data.append('assetData', fs.createReadStream('H:\\Git\\bilder\\Neu\\backend\\uploads\\1351335.png'));
  data.append('deviceAssetId', 'assetTest');
  data.append('deviceId', 'deviceTest');
  data.append('fileCreatedAt', '2024-12-27T11:02:39');
  data.append('fileModifiedAt', '2024-12-27T11:02:39');

    data : data
  };
  
  
  axios.request(config)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

data: { message: 'Invalid share key', error: 'Unauthorized', statusCode: 401, correlationId: '0ikytt67' }

You can't pass an api key like that

SonorcOP•5mo ago

how else should I do it? I just took it from the docs from immich.

bo0tzz•5mo ago

From which docs page?

SonorcOP•5mo ago

https://immich.app/docs/api/upload-asset/

uploadAsset | Immich

bo0tzz•5mo ago

key is an available query param on that endpoint for share keys, yes. But you can't put an API key in there

SonorcOP•5mo ago

Okay, because my idea was to save photos that I take with my camera on a Raspberry Pi, for example, and then sync them with me as soon as the Raspberry Pi has internet.

bo0tzz•5mo ago

You can just use the CLI for that, no?

SonorcOP•5mo ago

OK, I'll try to implement it with CLI. I just came across upload asset via the search engine. Thanks

bo0tzz•5mo ago

It is possible to use that endpoint to be clear. Just not with ?key=apikey
