Use file picker to upload local files

Xano Support Chat

The problem is with uploading local files from PC to Xano API. I am able to use the file picker to upload the same file, but when I try specifying the path to the file, it gives me the below error. I can specify a web file and it works OK. I need to be able to upload a local file to the database via the API.

To use a local file, you will need to use the file picker. The file resource input type in the JSON body will only support an image URL or a base64 encoded image URL. Putting a local file path in the JSON body is not supported.
