Hello 
Currently I am using this API request to upload a file from devise to an mirro boad.
Create image item using file from device - https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/{board_id}/images
But I have notice in response that passed parameters from forma-data is not applied to the image that was uploaded recently. But everything is working fine if use image link not a file to upload to boad.
Is it a bug or feature?)

Hey @Pavlo Holovko,

Thanks for reaching out, and happy to help. As a first step, can I kindly ask that you double check how you’re passing the JSON body?

This endpoint expects the following field names (keys) for the multipart/form-data:
`resource` for the image file upload
`data` for the JSON file upload

And when using this endpoint, the JSON body must be uploaded as a file (.json) to be properly read by the request. Can you confirm this is how you’re uploading the JSON?

Here is an example in cURL:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/{boardId}/images/{imageId}' \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
--form 'resource=@"/{pathToFile}"' \
--form 'data=@"/{pathToFile}"'

Let me know, thanks!

  "data": {
    "title": "TestName"
  },
  "position": {
    "x": 2000,
    "y": 2000
  },
  "parent": {
    "id": "parentId"
  }
}

I am also facing the same issue. I am sending the request as shown below from the documentation, but for some reason, both x and y in the response are returned as 0.

I am not sure if this is a bug or an intended behavior.

 

request

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/board_id/images \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer xxxxxx' \
     --header 'content-type: multipart/form-data' \
     --form x=1000 \
     --form y=1000 \
     --form resource='@img1.png'

 

response

{
  "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "type": "image",
  "data": {
    "imageUrl": "https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/board_id/resources/images/xxxxx?format=preview&redirect=false"
  },
  "geometry": {
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024
  },
  "position": {
    "x": 0,
    "y": 0,
    "origin": "center",
    "relativeTo": "canvas_center"
  },
  "links": {
    "self": "https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/board_id/images/xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  },
  "createdAt": "2024-06-19T10:37:26Z",
  "createdBy": {
    "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "type": "user"
  },
  "modifiedAt": "2024-06-19T10:37:26Z",
  "modifiedBy": {
    "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "type": "user"
  }
}
