如何使用 python 打开照片以用于 API 发布请求

Question

I am trying to open a test photo in python to upload the photo using the imgur API. I have found guides online with how to do this using javascript but am trying to learn python so help in that language would be appreciated.

The error i'm getting is

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '..\\media\\test.jpg'

I suspect that the cause of the error is with my pathing to the test.jpg file but I can't seem to figure out the right way to get to that file. I have uploaded my sample code below and it is also in the github post linked HERE .

Different attempts i have made to call the file include the below:

• 'image': b64encode(open(r'..\media\test.jpg', 'rb').read())
• 'image': open(r'..\media\test.jpg', 'rb').read()
• 'image': open('..\media\test.jpg', 'rb').read()
• 'image': open('..\\media\\test.jpg', 'rb').read()
• 'image': open(r'..\\media\\test.jpg', 'rb').read()
• 'image': open('../\media/\test.jpg', 'rb').read()

I have also tried to put the test.jpg photo into the same folder as the python script but unfortunately that did not work either.

Code I am using:

from base64 import b64encode
import json
import requests
import config



client_id = config.IMGUR_CLIENT_ID
# headers = ['Authorization'] = f'Client-ID {client_id}'
headers = {"Authorization": f'Client-ID {client_id}'}
api_key = config.IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET
url = "https://api.imgur.com/3/upload.json"


# print(r'..\media\test.jpg')

j1 = requests.post(
    url, 
    headers = headers,
    data = {
        'key': api_key, 
        #'image': b64encode(open(r'..\media\test.jpg', 'rb').read()),
        'image': open(r'..\media\test.jpg', 'rb').read(),
        'type': 'base64',
        'name': 'test.jpg',
        'title': 'Picture no. 1'
    }
)

Answer 1

Couldn't figure this out so i ended up using the below code to save to a folder in my C drive, i don't need to store the variable anywhere since the file can be overwritten every time the code runs.

file_location = urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, r'C:\temp\test.jpg')
