I can't Upload a file to a specific post via API

[wuwuwu002]

I've read the NodeBB API documentation, and I'd like to use the 'https://community.nodebb.org/api/post/upload' route to upload images for creating or replying to posts. However, I've been encountering failures, sometimes it's a 403 error, and sometimes it's an 'invalid-files' error. I'm using Python to write this script. Can someone provide a simple example? Thank you very much!

The file upload API is quite hard to use, I'll grant you that... I think it would need to be rewritten so it can be properly consumed by third-parties. Right now I think it only really works well with the built-in tools in the frontend.

@julian hey, i am trying to use upload file api but i am not able consume it. It says forbidden 403 but is working fine in postman. What could be the reason. Thank you so much for your efforts
