Error 415 uploading audio

[alejandroactisa]

Hello all,
I´m trying to send audio files to my axis main unit. I´ve checked Vapix and found that mediaclip.cgi?action=upload is the command I need.
I´m receiving error 415 Unsupported Media Type. I attach my code for clarification. Please check it and feel free to make any suggestions.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

# Configura la dirección IP de la cámara y el puerto
camera_ip = "***.***.**.**"

# Configura las credenciales de autenticación
username = "***"
password = "****"

# Ruta del archivo de audio a enviar
audio_file_path = r"C:\Users\User\Desktop\audio.mp3" 

# Establece el boundary para el formulario multipartes
boundary = "----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW"

# Construye el contenido del formulario multipartes
file_content = open(audio_file_path, "rb").read()
multipart_data = (
    f"--{boundary}\r\n"
    f"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"audio.mp3\"\r\n"
    "Content-Type: audio/basic\r\n\r\n"
    f"{file_content}\r\n"
    f"--{boundary}--\r\n"
)

# Configura la URL para la carga del clip de medios
upload_url = f"http://{camera_ip}/axis-cgi/mediaclip.cgi?action=upload&media=audio"

# Obtiene la longitud del contenido
content_length = len(multipart_data)

# Establece los encabezados de la solicitud
headers = {
    "Content-Length": str(content_length),
    "Content-Type": f"multipart/form-data; boundary={boundary}"
}

# Crea un objeto de autenticación digest
auth = HTTPDigestAuth(username, password)

# Envía la solicitud POST al endpoint de carga del clip de medios
response = requests.post(upload_url, data=multipart_data, headers=headers, auth=auth)

# Verifica si la carga fue exitosa
if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Clip de medios cargado exitosamente.")
else:
    print(f"Error al cargar el clip de medios. Código de estado HTTP: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.content)

Hi @alejandroactisa ,
Not sure how to use cURL in Python but adding my command which I use from WSL:

curl -u root:pass --digest --noproxy "*" -XPOST 'http://10.176.12.211/axis-cgi/mediaclip.cgi?action=upload&media=audio&name=file1' --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' --form '[email protected]'

Tested with AXIS Q1615 Mk III Network Camera (AXIS OS version 11.9.60)

Asked ChatGPT to write code 😉

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

# Define the URL and authentication credentials
url = 'http://10.176.12.211/axis-cgi/mediaclip.cgi?action=upload&media=audio&name=UsingChatGPT'
username = 'root'
password = 'pass'

# Define the file to upload
files = {'Content-Type': open('07.mp3', 'rb')}

# Send the POST request with authentication
response = requests.post(url, auth=HTTPDigestAuth(username, password), files=files)

# Check the response
print(response.text)

Guess what it worked 🍾

Remember to check OS version, try to use latest active or latest LTS OS.

Adding another sample inspired from here

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth


camera_ip = "10.176.12.211"


username = "root"
password = "pass"

upload_url = 'http://10.176.12.211/axis-cgi/mediaclip.cgi?action=upload&media=audio&name=Usingfirmware'

audio_file_path = r"s1.mp3" 

files = {
'file': [('s1.mp3',open('s1.mp3', 'rb'),'application/octet-stream')],
'name': "Using_firmware_API_reference"
}



auth = HTTPDigestAuth(username, password)
response = requests.post(upload_url, auth=auth,files =[('file',open('s1.mp3', 'rb'))])

print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)
