“失败：尝试创建此媒体项目时出错。”

Question

I'm trying to upload a photo on Google Photos, with google api, but i always get this error:

"status":{"code":3,"message":"Failed: There was an error while trying to create this media item."}}

I think that the problem is in the way i take the binary data of photo.

In this code i follow google photo api developers documentation, and it says, after take authorization, to: 1- Upload the raw bytes to a Google Server: to take upload-token 2- Use the upload token to create the media item.

This my node js code:

const photo = fs.readFileSync("fbimages/"+req.session.id_client+"/Prague/2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png", {
            'encoding': 'binary',
            'flag' : 'r'
        });


 var url= 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/uploads';
 var headers= {
     'Authorization': 'Bearer '+token,
     'Content-type': 'application/octet-stream',
     'X-Goog-Upload-Content-Type': 'image/png',
     'X-Goog-Upload-Protocol': 'raw',
     'X-Goog-Upload-File-Name': "2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png",
 };
 var body= photo

 request({
      url: url,
      method:'POST',
      headers: headers,
      rejectUnauthorized: false,
      body: JSON.stringify(body)
  }, function(error, response, body1){
      if(error)
      {
        console.log(error);
      }
      else
      {
         var upToken = body1.toString();

         console.log(upToken);

         var url= 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:batchCreate';
         var headers= {
             'Authorization' : 'Bearer '+token,
             'Content-type': 'application/json',
         };
         var body= {
             'newMediaItems': [
                 {
                   'description': 'Prague',
                   'simpleMediaItem': {
                         'fileName': 'prova',
                         'uploadToken': upToken,
                    }
                 }
             ]
         };
         request({
             url: url,
             method: 'POST',
             headers: headers,
             rejectUnauthorized: false,
             body: JSON.stringify(body),

           }, function(error, response, body){
              if(error)
              {
                 console.log(error);
               }
               else
               {
                  res.send(JSON.parse(body));
                }
          });
   }});

Please help me, if anyone has any idea!!

How about this modification?

Modification points:

• I think that encoding: "binary" is not required.
  • In this case, ``const photo = fs.readFileSync("fig1.png", { flag: "r" }); and const photo = fs.readFileSync("fig1.png");` can be used.
• Please modify body: JSON.stringify(body) to photo of const photo = fs.readFileSync("fig1.png", { flag: "r" }); .

When above points are reflected to your script, it becomes as follows.

Modified script:

From:

 const photo = fs.readFileSync("fbimages/"+req.session.id_client+"/Prague/2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png", { 'encoding': 'binary', 'flag': 'r' }); var url= 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/uploads'; var headers= { 'Authorization': 'Bearer '+token, 'Content-type': 'application/octet-stream', 'X-Goog-Upload-Content-Type': 'image/png', 'X-Goog-Upload-Protocol': 'raw', 'X-Goog-Upload-File-Name': "2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png", }; var body= { 'media-binary-data': photo } request({ url: url, method:'POST', headers: headers, rejectUnauthorized: false, body: JSON.stringify(body) }, function(error, response, body1){

To:

 const photo = fs.readFileSync("fbimages/"+req.session.id_client+"/Prague/2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png", { flag: "r" }); var url = "https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/uploads"; var headers = { Authorization: "Bearer " + token, "Content-type": "application/octet-stream", "X-Goog-Upload-Content-Type": "image/png", "X-Goog-Upload-Protocol": "raw", "X-Goog-Upload-File-Name": "2020-05-30T17:29:14+0000_0.png", }; request( { url: url, method: "POST", headers: headers, rejectUnauthorized: false, body: photo, }, function (error, response, body1) {

Note:

• In this modification, it supposes that your token can be used for this API. Please be careful this.
• When you want to directly put the uploaded image to an alubmn, please include albumId for requesting to https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:batchCreate .
