How do you get the id field in 'res_id' : id ?
Thanks

Hello all,

The datas you send through the 'datas' key must be a "stringify" of your binary.

Instead of sending

b"R0lGODdhAQABAIAAAP///////ywAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs="

You should sending :

R0lGODdhAQABAIAAAP///////ywAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=

You can obtain it by using : imageBase64.decode()

Hope this will help you.

convert to string

str(imageBase64)[2:]
