I'm struggling to set up the API on Bravo to upload an image from an app.
All other POST requests work pretty well but i get a 500 error when working with image uploads. I'm using Xano as a backend.
Does anyone know if this binding recently changed or something i need to take note of?

Hi ! There are some configuration steps you need to complete in Xano to be able to upload images. Please check point B) in this tutorial, where these steps are explained: https://tobyo.medium.com/instagram-clone-in-30-minutes-using-bravo-studio-and-xano-1b09110c1a0a
Let us know if that fixes the 500 error :)
Hi Javier,
Thanks for your response.
P precisely followed this tutorial but wouldn't work.
I want to redo it from scratch maybe I missed something.
Hi ,
I did get in touch with Xano and they confirmed the image download process was recently updated meaning the file post request from Bravo is also impacted.
Would you please liaise with Xano to get the tutorial above updated as I believe a lot of people rely on it.
I still haven't figured out how to upload using the current file upload option as opposed to using an image_url as outlined in the tutorial.
Thanks
Sorry, meant the image upload process has since been updated
Any updates here? We're having the same issue
Hi ,
Yes, I managed to go around it.
In Xano inputs don't use the "image_url" as they now support direct image upload. Under Xano Inputs use 'Storage>File Resource'' (see image below, you can choose your own name) then in the Function's Stack use the image metadata under content upload to upload the image. (I believe the documentation in Xano is now updated).
You will have to add the additional line in the JSON Body to be able upload from Bravo. make sure you use the same name as it appears in Xano content inputs. e.g. "content": "${content}"
I'm however struggling with uploading multiple images
here's how you upload multiple images with Xano:
