HTTP Error 422 when trying to upload a pdf file to a asset via python requests

[DasMoorhuhn]

Hello,

When I try to upload a pdf file via python requests to a asset, it failes with error 422. I followed the guide on https://snipe-it.readme.io/reference/uploading-files and with curl it works, but when I use python requests, it won't work. Am I doing anything wrong here?

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}

file_name = "abc_123.pdf"

file = {
    "file[]": open(file=file_name, mode="rb")
}

requesturl = f"https://my-snipe-it.local/api/v1/hardware/1234/files"

response = requests.post(
    requesturl,
    files=file,
    headers=headers,
)

Response:
HTTP 422: {"status": "error", "messages": "Invalid JSON", "payload":null}

What I have tried so far:

• "file": open(file=file_name, mode="rb")
• "file": open(file=file_name, mode="rb").read()
• "file": f"{open(file=file_name, mode="rb").read()}"
• "file[]": open(file=file_name, mode="rb").read()
• "file[]": f"{open(file=file_name, mode="rb").read()}"
• Using the payload parameter for requests.post()

Some help would be really nice :)
