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

from flask import Flask, url_for, send_from_directory, request
import logging, os
from werkzeug import secure_filename

app = Flask(__name__)
file_handler = logging.FileHandler('server.log')
app.logger.addHandler(file_handler)
app.logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

PROJECT_HOME = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
UPLOAD_FOLDER = '{}/uploads/'.format(PROJECT_HOME)
app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER


def create_new_folder(local_dir):
    newpath = local_dir
    if not os.path.exists(newpath):
        os.makedirs(newpath)
    return newpath

@app.route('/', methods = ['POST'])
def api_root():
    app.logger.info(PROJECT_HOME)
    if request.method == 'POST' and request.files['image']:
        app.logger.info(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'])
        img = request.files['image']
        img_name = secure_filename(img.filename)
        create_new_folder(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'])
        saved_path = os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], img_name)
        app.logger.info("saving {}".format(saved_path))
        img.save(saved_path)
        return send_from_directory(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'],img_name, as_attachment=True)
    else:
        return "Where is the image?"

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=False)
