I’m trying to upload a file to a column using the monday api through node app. I took an example from github and modified the query to upload to a column. I get this error when I run the program.
{ error_message: ‘Unsupported query’, status_code: 400 }
I can’t tell what the issue is with the query to monday or if there’s another issue in the code. The code I used is posted below.
/// those are the main dependecies you’ll need to have installed in this example;
const fs = require(‘fs’);
const fetch = require(‘node-fetch’);
/// Replace with your actual API Key
const API_KEY= “XXXXXXXXXXXX”;
/// Notice the /file/ endpoint - only this endpoint will support variables in this type of call
const url = ‘https://api.monday.com/v2/file’;
/// This is your mutation query - can also be adapted to send files to file columns instead
const query = ‘mutation add_file($file: File!, $itemId: Int!) {add_file_to_column(item_id: $itemId, column_id: 'file', file: $file) {id}}’
/// These are the variables you are sending. Can be adapted to a call that would add the file to a file oclumn instead;
var vars = {“updateId”:1234};
///This is the mapping for the API call, where you specify that a variable should be considered as the variables[file] of the request.
///This can be called “image”, or simply file - as long as it matches the name of the multipart request later down the line.
var map = {“file”:“variables.file”};
/// this is the path to the file you’d like to upload to monday.com
var upfile = ./test.xlsx;
var data = “”;
const boundary = “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”;
fs.readFile(upfile, function(err, content){
// simple catch error
if(err){
console.error(err);
}
//below, we will construct a multipart request. Take a look at the "name" within each part, as those will refer to different parts of the API call.

// construct request options
