🔒 How to upload a file using GoFile API while changing the uploaded file's name?

[sand plover]

I have a file asdf.txt which I want to upload to a gofile folder, but on the gofile folder, I want the file to be named qwer.txt. How can I accomplish this with python requests?

This is what I tried:

gofile_server = requests.get("https://api.gofile.io/servers").json()["data"]["servers"][0]["name"]
r = requests.post(
    url = f"https://{gofile_server}.gofile.io/contents/uploadfile",
    data = {
        "token": token,
        "folderId": folderId,
        "file": ("qwer.txt", open("asdf.txt", "rb"), "text/plain")
    }
)
print(r.text)```
But I get: `No boundary found`

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Looking at the requests docs: https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/#post-a-multipart-encoded-file
Maybe make the {"file":...} a distinct files= parameter as in the second example at that link. The ("qwer.txt",.....) tuple itself seems ok to me.

The "No boundary" warning suggests that they expect a multiple mixed message (which is what the second example does), which separates things with a boundary string.
