Have an API that can be used to attach files (into ClickUp) and trying to implement into my EPF code. Trying with the basics I ended up using POSTMAN and got it to work but unable to duplicate it in EPF. I am 99% sure its the formdata part I am not getting the format or details right

In POSTMAN I wish Sensetalk was in there for a code snippet but it is not. I am showing the CURL snippet but not sure if this is of any help

The documentation from ClickUp isnt helping me much  
[https://www.postman.com/clickup-api/clickup-public-api/request/uch46ml/create-task-attachment?tab=overview](https://www.postman.com/clickup-api/clickup-public-api/request/uch46ml/create-task-attachment?tab=overview)

I know this isn’t right but in short showing what I have been trying to do

Was able to do outside and API script using the post multipart command. I might still play with moving this to an API script if anyone has ideas on how this might copy over?

Hello,

To upload a file to ClickUp via EPF (SenseTalk), structure a multipart/form-data POST with headers and file content like this:

put “your\_api\_key” into apiKey  
put “your\_task\_id” into taskID  
put “C:/Path/To/Your/File.txt” into filePath

put “–boundary123” & return into body  
put ‘Content-Disposition: form-data; name=“attachment”; filename="’ & filePath’s short name & ‘"’ & return into body  
put “Content-Type: application/octet-stream” & return & return into body  
put file filePath into fileContents  
put body & fileContents & return & “–boundary123–” & return into body

put [  
method:“POST”,  
headers:[  
“Authorization”: apiKey,  
“Content-Type”: “multipart/form-data; boundary=boundary123”  
],  
body:body  
] into request

put post & taskID & “/attachment” with request into result  
put result.

File path is correct

Boundary matches in body and header

File is read correctly

Best Regard,  
Helen

Hey @GTPWilks,

here is a version I have used in the past next to the multipart (which is much simpler from my perspective).

```auto

set user to "admin"
set id to "123"
set myheader to {
	"name":"id",
	"contents":id
}
set myBody to {
	name:"id",
	contents:user
}

set myURL to "https://postman-echo.com/post"
put APostRequest(httpmethod:"POST",Url:myURL,requestbody:myBody, requestheaders:myHeaders) into ApiResults

log jsonformat(ApiREsults) 

```

Hey @Karsten,  
i am trying to post a zip file using below code, this doesn’t work.  
**My Code:**

\*` Post multipart {fieldName:"attachment",filename:fileNameForUpload,Body: zipFilePath} to URL MyURL with headers headers1`

**Headers:**

```auto
put {
	"Authorization": "Basic " & encodedCredentials,
	"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check"
} into headers1

```

I also tried this code, but no luck  
`put APostRequest(httpmethod:"POST",Url:myURL,requestbody:myBody, requestheaders:myHeaders) into ApiResults`

Hey @liki7411 ,

```auto
Post multipart {fieldName:"attachment",\
			filename:fileNameForUpload,\
			Body: file zipFilePath as data} \
		to URL MyURL with headers headers1

```

See above. Can you add _file_ before your variable _zipFilePath_ and afterwards _as data_

here is the docu [URL Transactions and Formatting | EPF Docs](https://docs.eggplantsoftware.com/studio/stk-url-transactions-formatting/#post-multipart)

@Karsten yes i have tried that as well , `post multipart {fieldName:"attachment",filename:fileNameForUpload,Body: file zipFilePath as data} to URL jiraURL with headers headers1` . I get blank response for this too. I checked file size which is - 761113 bytes

Hey @liki7411 ,

1. Does it work with a non zip file? txt, png? Can you try ?
2. Can you share the Jira documentation, API endpoints and describe a bit more what you want to achieve?
3. Do you know which Technical Consultant is assigned to your account? Can you reach out to her/him directly to support handson in a webmeeting.
4. Did you verify its working via Postman or curl on cmd/terminal?
5. Can you share the full scripts and add placeholders for credentials and your Jira URL ?  
Cheers,  
Karsten
