How to get uploaded image url using the Discourse API?

Thank you.:stuck_out_tongue:

curl -X POST -F username="john" -F type="image" -F file="@image.png" -F synchronous="true" "http://localhost:3000/uploads?api_key=SOMETHING&api_username=SOMEONE"

I write a php fucntion to test this upload api.

public function upload_file($user) {
  $url = 'http://hostname/uploads?api_key=api_key&api_username=api_username';
  $poststr = http_build_query(array('username' => $user, 'type' => 'image', 'file' => '/uploads/file/filename', 'synchronous' => 'true');
  $data = _curl($url, $poststr));  // _curl() : a custom function 
  return $data;
}

$data is empty. Why is it empty? It’s not supposed to return a url.

if I remove a parammeter : synchronous, it will return the response of “{“success”:“OK”}”.
