My requirement is to give customer option to upload image & this image needs to be send to zen desk. Do I need to upload the image on some server before using the upload function of zen desk.

Following is the code i m trying, but its not working

$uri = 'https://company.zendesk.com/api/v2/uploads.json?filename=image.jpg';
$target_file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$fildata = file_get_contents($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"]);
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $uri);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "xxxx@test.com/token:xxxxx");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/binary'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fildata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, $size);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);

    Hey Shweta,

    If you go to the admin panel then down to settings/customers do you see that 'Require authentication for request and uploads APIs' is enabled?

    Thanks!

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Eric,

    The setting is unticked for now. My understanding is it has to be unticked only.

    Thanks

    This is the only thing that would work for me. If i didn't do it like this, a blank image was appearing in the response:

    $fileName = 'test.png';
    $filePath = 'test.png';

    $url = 'https://test.zendesk.com/api/v2/uploads.json?filename=' . urlencode($fileName);
    $file = fopen($filePath, "r");
    $mimeContentType = mime_content_type($file);
    $size = filesize($filePath);


    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST ,true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, file_get_contents($filePath));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: {$mimeContentType}"));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "test@test.com/token:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    $code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    fclose($file);
    curl_close($ch);
