Does anyone have experience with the Homey HTTP POST form? I want to send an image to an API, but so far, I’m unable to connect to the API. (I removed the actual API data from the pictures.) What do I need to adjust to access the API and get a response? (This API is not used for detect faces like the face++ app, but for skeleton detection. This is a detection of human body’s in a image).

Try the logic card? ![Screenshot_20240504-013126_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/2/924b8f9deba1887c2f1fa17cfaf8cde6e6309a10.jpeg) ---

Hi Peter, Thanks for your response. I’ve tried that too, but I still can’t get it to work (see images). Do you have any idea what I should change? I think something’s going wrong with the header and body, but I have no idea what. ![IMG_4514](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/9/69fc3ac993683fa047e7986470733c7ed61dc21a.png) ![IMG_4515](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/3/835aec5938ee4811657afa5d717ab1adffe6742a.png) ---

Hi Dimitri, I forgot about something: I think you should use advanced flow to be able to use the response & status code tag in a timeline card After lots of trial and error, I got it working with an image\_url: ![Screenshot from 2024-05-04 22-16-50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/9/59496fffb06e20c469ba928650a3ae91595aa013.png) ```auto https://api-us.faceplusplus.com/humanbodypp/v2/segment?api_key=mykey&api_secret=mysecret&image_url=https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b2736c9edead25c8dfda97e778ab ``` . And you´d use these headers for local image file upload: `Content-Type: multipart/form-data` But I still get errors when I want to use a local image file, I give up on that one (I’m aware of the Image Requirements Format : JPG (JPEG), PNG Size : between 48\*48 and 1280\*1280 (pixels) File size : max 2MB ) ---

Hi Peter, Thanks a lot, you’ve been a great help. I’m finally getting a response back from the API. Sending an image is now the next challenge. ---

@robertklep Thanks for your reply! Do you have any idea or tip on how I can send a local image from Homey through the API, ensuring it meets the API’s requirements? ---

> [@DimitriEbben](#): > > Do you have any idea or tip on how I can send a local image from Homey through the API, ensuring it meets the API’s requirements? The only way that could work is if you can determine a publicly accessible URL for the image, and I’m not sure that even exists.
