Uploading an image via Python script using Glide API documentation

Ask for Help
1

Want to do a mass import of Vehicle information into Glide Tables using a python script, however each vehicle also has an image attached to it. How would I get it into Glide? An example of how to upload an image via Glide’s API would be helpful

Uploading files into Glide Tables from the Glide API is not supported at the moment.

@Darren_Murphy Correct me if I am wrong.

Would be a nice feature to implement, would make mass data uploads a lot easier.

4

So that image doesn’t exist in the form of a URL at the moment, right?

5

Correct, we are looking at solutions to convert them though since the file isn’t possible atm.

I’ve had success with smaller files (1-2 page PDFs) by first base64 encoding them, then pushing that through the API. They can then be displayed in a webview component using something like the following in a template column:

data:application/pdf;base64,{data}

An alternative might be the Upload File action in a server side workflow. I’ve not tried this, so I don’t know if it will work.
