I am using an API post request in order to get a modified image.
curl \ -F 'image=@/path/to/your/file.jpg' \ -H 'api-key:[myKey]' \ [api url]
It worked fine directly on my Mac's terminal using:
curl \ -F 'image=@/Users/user/image.jpg' \ -H 'api-key:[myKey]' \ [api url]
Trying to use it in an iOS app, I'm struggling to get an image path.
The API works with Alamofire using another parameter that uses an image URL. So I thought to upload the image to a server and use that URL, but it would be much better if I could use directly the path parameter.
This is what I tried, but it doesn't work:
func imagePath(_ image: UIImage, handler: @escaping (String?) -> Void ) { let path = NSTemporaryDirectory() .appending(UUID().uuidString) .appending("png") let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path) let data = image.pngData() let urlForApi = "@" + path do { try data?.write(to: url) // Just to check if write above works, it always works fine let postData = try UIImage(data: Data(contentsOf: url)) handler (urlForApi) } catch { handler (nil) }}
It returns handler (urlForApi
), but the request gets an error. I'm not getting the correct path to use for the request.
