Yeah correct, This is how i implemented this… just pass  
“[image|581x455(upload://c4MB1Yzppr5Omv68MoJBQINqqiB.png)” in raw in post api. Here  
1)image-any name you want to give  
2)upload://c4MB1Yzppr5Omv68MoJBQINqqiB.png- this is the shorturl we get while uploading the image using upload api.

for steps: 1)first we have to upload the image using /upload.json api  
step 2) pass the short url in above format with other post content in ‘raw’ field.

Thank you for your reply @blake
