How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I am testing to upload a file using /api/v1/document/upload. Below is the code I am using:

import requests
import os

api_url = "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/document/upload"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "[My API Key]",
    "accept": "application/json"
}

pdf_filename = "temp.pdf"

with open(pdf_filename, "rb") as f:
    files = {"file": (pdf_filename, f, "application/pdf")}
    print(f"Sending files: {pdf_filename}")
    response = requests.post(api_url, headers=headers, files=files)

    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("PDF successfully uploaded to the API.")
    else:
        print(f"Failed. Status code: {response.status_code}, Response: {response.text}")

The file temp.pdf exists in the same directory as the script.

However, the program is returning the following error:

Sending files: temp.pdf
Failed. Status code: 500, Response: {"success":false,"error":"Invalid file upload. ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\Users\\[My Username]\\AppData\\Roaming\\collector\\hotdir\\temp.pdf'"}

In fact, I also encountered a similar 500 error in /api/docs/:

Could you please help me understand why this error is occurring and how to resolve it?

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

The swagger UI fails because of https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/2473 (Multi-part uploads)

As for your script - how does this work instead?

import requests
import os

api_url = "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/document/upload"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "[My API Key]",
    "accept": "application/json"
}

pdf_filename = "temp.pdf"
files = {'file': open(pdf_filename, 'rb')}
print(f"Sending files: {pdf_filename}")
response = requests.post(api_url, headers=headers, files=files)
if response.status_code == 200:
    print("PDF successfully uploaded to the API.")
else:
    print(f"Failed. Status code: {response.status_code}, Response: {response.text}")
