Axios : send image with FormData on Prestashop API - node.js

Question

I'm trying to upload on image on the Prestashop API with form-data/axios.
For that, i just need to send a post request with the images joined in an "image" parameter.
I did this simple node.js script (mine is much more complicated but i simplified for here):
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fs = require("fs");
const axios = require("axios");
// Read the image file into a buffer
const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync("image.jpg");
// Create a FormData object
const form = new FormData();
// Append the image buffer to the form data
form.append("image", imageBuffer);
// Make an HTTP POST request to the PrestaShop API
axios({
method: "POST",
url: "https://XXX/api/images/products/15924",
data: form, // set the request body using the data field
params: {
ws_key: "XXX",
},
headers: {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + form.getBoundary(),
},
})
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error.response.data);
});
But i get this answer:
<message><![CDATA[Please set an "image" parameter with image data for value]]></message>
I tried a LOT of things. With fs.createReadStream instead of formData, with http instead of axios, with a buffer or a file, etc ... and i alway end with this error.
I would be glad if someone has an idea :-)
Thx !

Answer 1

I finally succeed!
Two changed were needed:
Adding the filename in the append (thanks Dmitriy Mozgovoy for pointing that out in the comment)
Adding the size in the headers with "Content-Length": formData.getLengthSync()
Without these 2 missing elements, it seems that PHP received an empty $_FILES variable.
Final version:
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fs = require("fs");
const axios = require("axios");
// Read the image file into a buffer
const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync("image.jpg");
// Create a FormData object
const form = new FormData();
// Append the image buffer to the form data
form.append("image", imageBuffer, "image.jpg");
// Make an HTTP POST request to the PrestaShop API
axios
.post("https://example.com/api/images/products/15924", form, {
params: {
ws_key: "EXAMPLE",
},
headers: {
...form.getHeaders(),
"Content-Length": form.getLengthSync(),
},
})
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error.response.data);
});
