Hi Santiago,

You need to send your request as a multipart/form-data, and the file param should be sent as a binary blob, not encoded as base64. You can check our documentation for an example in PHP, or else please refer to the documentation for the language/tool you're using to send your requests.

Please let us know if you're facing issues after this.

Cheers,
Nico

Hi Andres,

Could you provide more context about how you're sending your request? The issue might be related to the way this request is being built within your application code, and since this is specific to the language/framework you're using we might not be able to fully help troubleshooting it. If you believe this is not the case, I'd suggest to try replicating your request in a REST API client such as Postman (remember to send it as multipart/form-data) to rule out any issues on the API itself. If this is successful, you can use this request a reference for implementing your code.

Cheers,
Nicolas

Hi!

I use this way to send the data. Because of privacy, the company Id and the authorization token i will omit it.

const form = new FormData();

form.append('file', req.body.file);

const options = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
accept: 'application/json',
'X-Company-ID': '',
authorization: '',
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
},
body: form,
};

fetch('https://api.personio.de/v1/recruiting/applications/documents', options)
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((response) => console.log({ response }))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));

Hi Andres,

This is nodeJS on the server and not javascript in the browser right? Otherwise it won't work due to CORS errors.

A quick search suggests that you should remove the Content-Type header from your request for it to be added automatically together with the boundary. The example is for the browser, but it's possibly the same case here.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Nicolas
