python-vuforia bad http request

Question

I'm currently working on an augmented reality app using Django and the Vuforia SDK. Vuforia provides an API to manage target images on the Vuforia Clouddatabase.

I stumbled across a python script to communicate with Vuforias Rest-API: https://github.com/dadoeyad/python-vuforia

The functions fetch data from the Database work nicely. But I can't figure out how to use the function to add data to the Database.

import augmented.vuforia

upload = vuforia.Vuforia()
data = '{"name":"tarmac","width":"265.0","image":"/9j/4AAQSkZJR..."}'
upload.add_target(data)

This gives me an error: Bad Http Request

Is someone smart out there who gets how the data should be formatted?

The docs also seem to have typos: https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/adding-target-cloud-database-api

Answer 1

In the library there is an example of how to add a target.

v = Vuforia(server_access, server_secret)
image_file = open('PATH_TO_IMAGE_FILE')
image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())
meta = "this is the metadata"
metadata = base64.b64encode(meta)
print v.add_target({"name": "zxczxc", "width": "550", "image": image, "application_metadata": metadata, "active_flag": 1})
