Uploading .wav file to Ingestion API

Help
#1

Question/Issue:
I’m trying to build a website where users can upload a .wav file, which I then upload to Edge Impulse through the Ingestion API. Here is the html/javascript code I wrote:

code
code667×573 52.6 KB

When I test it out, I get an error with code 500 that says “unexpected request”. I suspect that something is wrong with the request, since when I inspect the network it says that the request header has content-type “multipart/form-data”, while the response header has content-type “application/json”:
request
response

Is there something wrong with my code, or is what I’m trying to do not allowed by the Ingestion API?

You may need the following in the header documented here:

'Content-Type': multipart/form-data

Also try running the Curl command so we can eliminate possible side effects from you custom code. 1st things 1st: get the ingestion working then move on from there.

Thanks for the reply. When I try to include the content-type in the header, I get an error that says “Multipart: Boundary not found”. From what I’ve read online, the browser is supposed to automatically set the content-type as well as the boundary.

I cannot reproduce your error but the follwoing works for me:

curl -X POST -H "x-api-key: ei_DEADBEEF89ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567DEADBEEF" -H "x-label: Zero" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "data=@0.wav" https://ingestion.edgeimpulse.com/api/training/files
  • Make sure to use the API Key not the HMAC Key.
