HI, we are using PHP curl request to creating channel and we did not found any way to upload channel avatar by a url, we have all images on cloud amazon s3,
is it possible to create channel avatar using image url?
@vibhorMaheshwari We recommend using Channel metadata to upload a channel avatar by file URL. For additional information, please visit the following link: https://docs.amity.co/technical-faq#what-is-metadata-and-its-intended-use.
so if we add file url to meta data then its will display avatar automatically in IOS uikit?
Yes, except if you use avatarCustomUrl , you will need to modify the code on your end to facilitate this.

also im trying files upload api, it should be return a fileID but its giving me uploaded image below is my code:
function uploadFile($params = array())
{
$url = $this->api_url.'/api/v3/files';
$headers = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Authorization: Bearer '.$this->admin_token,
'cache-control: no-cache',
'content-type: multipart/form-data'
);
$fields = array();
$fields['file'] = file_get_contents($params['file_url']);
$fields['fullImage'] = true;
// Open connection
$ch = curl_init();
// Set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
// Execute post
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
// Close connection
curl_close($ch);
$resp_array = json_decode($response, true);
if($info['http_code'] == 200)
{
$return = array('success' => true, 'response' => $resp_array);
}
else
{
$return = array('success' => false, 'error_message' => $resp_array['message'], 'response' => $resp_array);
}
return $return;
}
public function upload_file()
{
$this->load->library('amity_api');
$params = array();
$params['file_url'] = 'https://crustpizza-media-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/store/7fee6bcccbbee7485633f652df3162c7.jpg';
$amity_respon = $this->amity_api->uploadFile($params);
print_r($amity_respon);
}
@vibhorMaheshwari I will consult with my team regarding this matter and revert to you with an update.
@vibhorMaheshwari Upon consulting with our team, we kindly suggest that you export the log response and take another look. You should be receiving a File ID as part of the response. We’re here to assist further if you need any help with this process.
@amitysupport
you can check below screen shot that i am getting http code 200 , but in response there is only image data nothing else.
Hello, could you please try this endpoint instead:
curl --location ‘https://api.amity.co/api/v4/images’
–header ‘accept: application/json’
–header ‘Content-Type: application/json’
–header ‘Authorization: Bearer cxxx’
–form ‘files=@“/path/to/file”’
@amitysupport
tired this given code, but not succeed, now i am receiving a new error:
{ “status”: “error”, “message”: “Access token is invalid.”, “code”: 400100, “data”: { “detail”: { “appErrorCode”: 400100 } } }
but when i use my previous endpoint (https://apix.us.amity.co/api/v4/files) then it success but not getting fileID.
May I ask where did you get the Access token from? And did you pass the Access token when you call https://apix.us.amity.co/api/v4/files endpoint?
@amitysupport
tried this endpoint (https://apix.us.amity.co/api/v4/images) and getting same response,
