image upload thru https
Hi, is it possible to upload an image to appwrite thru https?
I need to upload images from ip camera to appwrite backet.
This is an example with Google cloud - https://github.com/AxisCommunications/acap-integration-examples-gcp/blob/main/images-to-google-cloud-storage/README.md.
uhh...I'm not really sure what you mean...HTTPS is just a transport protocol. Are you asking about how to use the REST API directly?
Hi the camera can send the image with HTTP Post.
This is an example with aws below.
Can I have same functionality with appwrite? I'm which way? Probably I can't use rest api directly with the camera.

a REST API takes an HTTP request and returns a response so that's what you're probably looking for. All of Appwrite's SDKs interact with Appwrite's REST (or realtime) APIs. If you can't use the SDK, you can call the REST APIs directly.
See https://appwrite.io/docs/rest and https://appwrite.io/docs/client/storage?sdk=rest-default#storageCreateFile
I can use this. <img src="https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/storage/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]/files/[FILE_ID]/preview?project=[PROJECT_ID]">
But the issue will be the authentication.. I can pass parameters only as cgi parameters.
that is for reading a file. not creating a file.
I don't know how cgi paramters works
what is that system? what other option do you have besides S3 recipient?
The s3 is only a text caption.. the camera can only post image with https so to upload it to aws you need to have lampda (cloud function).
This is how it's done with aws:
Axis camera to AWS S3 we instead send them to an API Gateway. The API Gateway delegates authorization to a Lambda authorizer that compares the provided access token to an access token stored in Secrets Manager. If the provided access token is deemed valid the API Gateway forwards the request to a Lambda function that proceeds with uploading the provided image to an AWS S3 bucket.
i took a look at axis' documentation and it doesn't look like they give very many options for sending the request. as such, you'll probably need to do something similar to craft the request into one that works with appwrite
