Gitlab api upload in python

Question

According to official documentation curl request is

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" --form "[email protected]" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects/5/uploads

I change it to python and get

import requests

headers = {

    'PRIVATE-TOKEN': 'my_token'
}
form = {
    'file': '@gaa.pdf'
}
print(requests.post('https://gitlab.com/api/v3/projects/4067343/uploads', headers=headers, form=form))

And I have response like

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/k/pro/rat/try.py", line 19, in <module>
    print(requests.post('https://gitlab.com/api/v3/projects/4067343/uploads', headers=headers, form=form))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 112, in post
    return request('post', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 58, in request
    return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'form'

What should I do to have response with link instead of mistake?

Is the Token in the wget command truncated or is it your real token ? — SitiSchu

requests.post does not support formparameter. See this question how to convert curl's --form to Python's requests. — PKo

def upload_file(project_id, filename, gitlab_token):
    url = 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/{0}/uploads'.format(project_id)
    headers = {'PRIVATE-TOKEN': gitlab_token}
    files = {'file': open('{0}'.format(filename), 'rb')}
    r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files)

    if r.status_code == 200 or r.status_code == 201:
        print('Uploading the file {0}....'.format(filename))
    else:
        print('File {0} was not uploaded'.format(filename))

    markdown = r.json()['markdown']
return markdown

You should take a look at Python Gitlab package. It provides you a convenient access to the GitLab server API. The API to upload a file to a project is currently under review in a PR (https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/pull/239)
