Adding an image​

The difficulty with adding a graphic file is the proper preparation of fields in the query. At the beginning, you should prepare a list of fields that should be completed when creating / editing a record via API.

Module field structure can be found in the field edition panel in Software configuration → Standard modules → Edit fields.

Once you're familiar with the structure you can move on to constructing the queries.

Each graphic file created at the API level requires three variables:

  • name

    File name

  • key

    Random of characters string, unique within the pool of graphic files of a given field

  • baseContent

    Graphic file converted to base64

Below you can find an example of an image added to a Contact using Postman:
