Posting Images into the repository via REST call

[tcoufal]

Hi Guys,

I am maybe too quick with the question, but Ill ask anyway.

How can I upload images (or any other file) into the TW repository (default or otherwise since TW7.0) directly through the REST API calls.

Thanks a lot.

Hi

It's possible but takes some effort, you have to base64 encode the file and then include the encoded string as content.

Try the SaveBinary service of a repository Thing to test this out.

Hope this helps

Hi

so I am on a good track afterall

I am reverseengineering the service mashup from tw (repository) via Wireshark and it calls imageEncoder first and than relay the encoded message to repository message.

I will test that service. Thanks.

Yep, we got that going.

Now we are sending photos from mobile devices seamlessly to ThingWorx repository.

And now with TW 7.0 and higher we can choose what ever repository we want (remote disks, SMB, FTP what ever) I am thrilled.
