Upload image to KOBO form using API

[abhisan]

I am trying to build an external form and submit data in JSON format, however I am unable to find any possible solution or any hints on how the solution can be obtained. Anyone who has any idea would be very helpful.
Form has set of questions with one or sometimes 5 images to be uploaded , therefore wht is the best approach to accomplish the task?

Welcome to the community, @abhisan! Maybe this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

Using API to upload media files?

@Josh It works beautifully! Many thanks. I did some experimenting and I found that ODK will download the new CSV file if you sync manually, even if you don’t redeploy the form. Here’s the final python script for anyone who wants to programmatically upload the CSV file for pulldata purposes: import requests import json KC_URL = 'https://<kc_url>/api/v1/' KF_URL = 'https://<kf_url>/api/v2/' TOKEN = '<token>' XFORM = <xform_id> FILE_FOLDER = r"<file_folder>" …

I have already went through all articles and solution on the forum and internet but none of it is viable solution to my problem.
While submitting data from JSON on api/v1/submissions we can send json format data but I neeed to submit image data to the submission, how do i achieve that ?

Hi @abhisan, please refer to the discussion here on a method to achieve this:

Posting data submissions using the KOBO Rest API

@ks_1 you can submit files the same way by just extending the submit_data() method above. Something like this: def submit_data(data, file_name): ... another_file_tuple = (file_name, open(file_name, 'rb')) files = {'xml_submission_file': file_tuple, file_name: another_file_tuple} ... Note that if you look at the network tab in your browser dev tools while submitting data through Enketo, the request data will give you a rough idea how to do what you’re wanting. [dev tools]
