How to make a request for uploading a file to facebook using graph api in curl
I am making this request but getting Error:
curl https://graph.facebook.com//photos -F "source=@me.jpg" -d "message=Me" -v
ERR:
Only One Http Request can be Selected
Answer
You can't use -F and -d together, since they use different content types, and you need multipart/form-data. So try with:
https://graph.facebook.com//photos -F "source=@me.jpg" -F "message=Me" -v
From man curl:
-F/--form
(HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data according to RFC2388. This enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the 'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name with an @ sign. To just get the content part from a file, prefix the file name with the symbol <. The difference between @ and < is then that @ makes a file get attached in the post as a file upload, while the < makes a text field and just get the contents for that text field from a file.
