Uploading multiple files in a single request using python requests module

Question

The Python requests module provides good documentation on how to upload a single file in a single request:

 files = {\         


        

Answer 1

You need to create a file list to upload multiple images:

file_list = [  
       ('Key_here', ('file_name1.jpg', open('file_path1.jpg', 'rb'), 'image/png')),
       ('key_here', ('file_name2.jpg', open('file_path2.jpg', 'rb'), 'image/png'))
   ]

r = requests.post(url, files=file_list)

If you want to send files on the same key you need to keep the key same for each element, and for a different key just change the keys.
