Flask-RESTful - Upload image

Question

I was wondering on how do you upload files by creating an API service?

class UploadImage(Resource):
    def post(self, fname):
        file = request.files[\         


        

Answer 1

Something on the lines of the following code should help.

 @app.route('/upload', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
 def upload():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        file = request.files['file']
        extension = os.path.splitext(file.filename)[1]
        f_name = str(uuid.uuid4()) + extension
        file.save(os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], f_name))
        return json.dumps({'filename':f_name})
