I am trying to test out connecting a box drive to the application I am developing using Box's REST API. I set up all credentials and followed the Upload documentation (here). However, when I run it, I get a 400 code with a blank message. When I look in the response, It also states a 415 error of invalid file type (see attached).
I looked at the thread, but non seemed to resolve the issue. documentation 1
I am not sure if this is a box issue, retool issue, or user issue (or a combination).
Hey @tspecht! Not sure off the bat what the issue is, but a couple of things to check.
I'm sure you are setting the Authorization header on the resource setup screen, are you also setting the content-type header there as well? I don't see it set on the query itself.
Can you share what the {{report_submission_uploadFile.value['0']}} evaluates to? You may need to append .base64Data to that as it looks like the endpoint is expecting only the binary data of the file.
I did set both content type and authorizations in the header, but still received a 400 error. The file value evaluated to the object showing the encoded base64 data, name, file type, and byte size. The Base64 data evaluated to a buffer data type, which I suspect to be the issue since, as you stated, it is expecting binary data. I am unsure how to transform from a buffer to binary data type in Node.Js.
Note: Played a round some more. I reworked the request base URL and authorization. I am now getting most of the way. However, now I am getting an error stating that I am missing a parent id, although on is supplied. I see in the documentation that a parent object is required, but I am not sure how to do that with form data.
