How to share file with room in HipChat via Postman or Jersey client? Please provide the solution for this. I tried with below link but unable to share the file, please can you help me on this. In below link if Hipchat provide any example its good to developers.

https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/share_file_with_room 

I included screen shots, which I tried from postman.

Note:  I used API access token with send message scope.

I am getting below error:

{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "No file was found in the request. See https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/share_file_with_room for an example",
"type": "Bad Request"
}
}

Thanks in advance

Hi Prantish,

I'm not that good with the Postman, but if you are looking for a way to upload a file, I would suggest you try this python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import print_function
import requests
import sys
import json
import os


def hipchat_file(token, room, filepath, message='', host='api.hipchat.com'):
""" Send file to a HipChat room via API version 2
Parameters
----------
token : str
HipChat API version 2 compatible token - must be token for active user
room: str
Name or API ID of the room to notify
filepath: str
Full path of file to be sent
message: str, optional
Message to send to room
host: str, optional
Host to connect to, defaults to api.hipchat.com
"""

if not os.path.isfile(filepath):
raise ValueError("File '{0}' does not exist".format(filepath))
if len(message) > 1000:
raise ValueError('Message too long')

url = "https://{0}/v2/room/{1}/share/file".format(host, room)
headers = {'Content-type': 'multipart/related; boundary=boundary123456'}
headers['Authorization'] = "Bearer " + token
msg = json.dumps({'message': message})

payload = """\
--boundary123456
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: attachment; name="metadata"
{0}
--boundary123456
Content-Disposition: attachment; name="file"; filename="{1}"
{2}
--boundary123456--\
""".format(msg, os.path.basename(filepath), open(filepath, 'rb').read())

r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
r.raise_for_status()


my_token = 'token'
my_room = 'room id'
my_file = '/Users/syahrul/Desktop/file.csv'
my_message = 'Check out this cool file' # optional

try:
hipchat_file(my_token, my_room, my_file, my_message)
except Exception as e:
msg = "[ERROR] HipChat file failed: '{0}'".format(e)
print(msg, file=sys.stderr)
sys.exit(1) 

Just change the my_token to your APIv2 token and my_file to your file path location. Also, you can tweak the my_message to your message when sending the file.

Hope this helps.

Hi 

Is there a way to do this in Java ?

I'm having an issue with it. See below. 

String file_path = "src/test/resources/sku/sku.zip";

File file = new File(file_path);

 // JSONObject message = new JSONObject();

// message.put("message", "sku_uploads");

 FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(file);

MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create().addPart("file", fileBody);

builder.addBinaryBody("file", file, ContentType.create("application/zip") , "sku.zip");

HttpEntity multiPartEntity = builder.build();

String boundary = "===" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "===";

// execute post and parse response data

httpPost = new HttpPost("https://${host}/v2/room/${room_name}/share/file");

httpPost.setHeader(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION, "Bearer ${token}");

//httpPost.setEntity(new StringEntity(message.toString(), "UTF-8"));

httpPost.setEntity(multiPartEntity);

httpPost.addHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/related; boundary="+ boundary);

// httpPost.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

httpPost.addHeader("charset", "UTF-8");

handler = new BasicResponseHandler();

response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

String body = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity(), "UTF-8");

System.out.println(body);

Assert.assertTrue(response.getStatusLine().toString().contains("200"));

Error message :

{

  "error": {

    "code": 400,

    "message": "No file was found in the request. See https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/share_file_with_room for an example",

    "type": "Bad Request"

  }

}
