JavaScript - How to send PDF file to POST /now/attachment/upload

[Anthony Calise]

I'm trying to attach a PDF file to our tickets via the /now/attachment/upload API.

Having issues figuring out the correct syntax to do this with JavaScript, I have tried the below solution with axios

This returns a 400 - Bad Request error. I'm looking for a code example of using this API with JavaScript

  const config = { headers: { "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" } };

      await this._axios.post(

        `/now/attachment/upload`,

        {

          table_name: tableName,

          table_sys_id: sysId,

          uploadFile: './FilePath/test.pdf',

        },

        config

      );

It seems to only affect PDFs. Both of these work for any other file type, and works fine from postman, the REST API explorer, and normal upload methods but not the $http method. Again other file types work fine:

var sys_id = .....
var url = '/api/now/attachment/file?table_name=.....&table_sys_id=' + sys_id + '&file_name=File'
return $http.post(url, false, {
transformRequest: angular.identity,
headers: {
'Authorization': 'BASIC ' + btoa(MY_CONFIG.username + ':' + MY_CONFIG.password),
'Content-Type': file.type,
'Accept': "application/json, text/plain, */*",
data: {base64pdf: file}
}
})
.then(function successCallback(response) {
// this callback will be called asynchronously
// when the response is available
console.log(response)
}, function errorCallback(response) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
console.log(response)
});

var FormData = new FormData();
		FormData .append('table_name', '....');
		FormData .append('table_sys_id', sys_id);
		FormData .append('uploadFile', file );
	
		var url = '/api/now/attachment/upload'
	
		request = {
			method: 'POST',
			url: url,
			data: FormData ,
			headers: {
				'Content-Type': undefined,
				'Accept':'application/json',
				'Authorization': 'BASIC ' + btoa(MY_CONFIG.username + ':' + MY_CONFIG.password)
			}
		};

		return $http(request).success(function (response) {
			// On success code here
			console.log(response)
			}).error(function (err) {
				// On error code here
				console.log(err)
			});
