Restful command with Form-data

1

Hey guys,

I try to use CompreFace over rest in HA.
I have This working curl and want to convert it to a rest_command.

Curl:
curl -X POST "http://192.168.1.121:8000/api/v1/recognition/recognize" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "x-api-key: 67f91561-6a4c-4f87-a36b-xxxxxxx" --form file=@/root/.homeassistant/snapshots/Klingel/4B26FB5C-85E7-415D-9FAB-FA0D8744C4FF.jpeg

What I have so far in HA is:

rest_command:
  face_recognition:
    url: http://192.168.1.121:8000/api/v1/recognition/recognize
    method: POST
    headers:
      x-api-key: '67f91561-6a4c-4f87-a36b-xxxxxxx'
      Content-Type: 'multipart/form-data'
    payload: "file=@/root/.homeassistant/snapshots/Klingel/4B26FB5C-85E7-415D-9FAB-FA0D8744C4FF.jpeg"
    verify_ssl: false

It is just a first try with hardcoded picture. Later I would change it with a template.
I think my problem is at form-data with the picture.

I would highly appreciate in anyone is willing to help.

I don’t think you’ll manage through a rest_command.
--form file=@ is a way to tell curl to send the file, the actual payload looks like

With binary data base64 encoded, iirc.

You’ll be best with a shell_command calling curl in this specific instancE.
