How to upload JSON asset using Asset API

[#1]

Hi. I am using AEM Assent API and trying to upload a binary file using HTTP request.

Here you can find the docs: https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-65/assets/extending/mac-api-assets.html#cr...

It's working for images but for every json files i am uploading, it's creating new directory with name of the file instead of uploading this file. Any suggestions? How the request should looks like?

@MatStyler Thanks for following up. I tried this out.  When we give Content-Type : "application/json" , it is creating a folder , So I tried with a generic type as Content-Type:"application" and it worked ✌😉

Even though it throws me error , file actually got uploaded 

Hope this works for you ✌

Thanks

Yeah, it's working but returning the error so it's not a good solution but a hack.

I tried checking the logs why exactly it is throwing error. But didn't find anything specifically logged or may be i missed.

Hi @MatStyler

It's ok for images but when i am uploading json this way it's creating a directory, not uploading the json file.

oh. May be I have to try that.

[MatStyler]

That's the problem.

[MatStyler]

Have you tried that?

[MatStyler]

If I understand you correctly are you are trying to create an asset outside any folder , and  are seeing that the curl command is creating a folder instead of a node name?

It's working with images (uploading an image) but not for jsons.

Any solution?
