Hello everyone,

How do I upload a file through api call? I do not find any such mention for v2. Please help.

Hi!

I found the solution myself, as it turned out, everything is very simple :slight_smile:

go to root → modules → Assets → api.php
at the end of the file add:

$restApi->addEndPoint('/assets/upload', [

      'POST' => function($params, $app) {

          $meta = ['folder' => $this->param('folder', '')];

          return $this->module('assets')->upload('files', $meta);
      }
  ]);

The request looks like a regular REST API:

upload
upload1208×738 136 KB

folder is specified only if required

To remove, add the following code:

$restApi->addEndPoint('/assets/remove', [

        'POST' => function($params, $app) {

            if ($assets = $this->param('assets', false)) {
                return $this->module('assets')->remove($assets);
            }
    
            return false;
        }
    ]);

The request looks like a regular REST API:

remove
remove1193×635 121 KB

assets is the id of the image to be removed

It’s probably best to not change core files, because those will be gone when you update Cockpit to a newer version.

Instead, create a file config/api/assets/upload.php and put the code you wrote in there. It may need some alteration to make it work from there though.

I’m not a guru at all, I’ve only learned about these things recently: Get list of unpublished items through API - #8 by witsec.

you’re right!
then create two files in a folder: root → config → api → assets

upload.php:

<?php
$meta = ['folder' => $this->param('folder', '')];
return $this->module('assets')->upload('files', $meta);

remove.php:

<?php
if ($assets = $this->param('assets', false)) {
    return $this->module('assets')->remove($assets);
}
return false;
