  Here is an example using the fetch api, though the concept is the same. Make sure to set your Content-Type so that it matches the file type that you're uploading. 
   
   
   
  

  
  
          async function uploadFile(data) {
  
              const file = await fetch(data);
              const content = await file.blob();
              const request = await fetch("https://EXAMPLE.zendesk.com/api/v2/uploads.json?filename=example.pdf", {
                  method: 'POST', 
                  headers: {
                      'Content-Type': 'application/pdf',
                      'Authorization': 'Basic ABC123EXAMPLE'
  
                  }, body: content
              });
              let response = await request.json()
              console.log(response)
          }

  Hi Luke!

  Maybe you should use the following content type to upload the file:

  'Content-type': 'application/binary'

  Luke,

   

  Here is all my python code snippet on this attachment part:

      
  
          # GENERATION TOKENS ATTACHEMENT
  
          directory = ticket_dir + '/' + str(TicketID) # contain all my files
  
          tab_token = []
  
          for filename in os.listdir(directory):
  
              headers = {'Content-type': 'application/binary'}
              r_attach = requests.post(AuthConfig.get('zendesk','url') + '/api/v2/uploads.json?filename=' + filename, data=open(ticket_dir + '/' + str(TicketID) + '/' + filename, 'rb'), headers=headers, auth=(AuthConfig.get('auth','user') , AuthConfig.get('auth','pass'))) # Upload file
              data_token = r_attach.json()
              cur_token = data_token['upload']['token']
              tab_token.append(cur_token)
  
          # TICKET CREATION
          url_ticket = AuthConfig.get('zendesk','url') + "/api/v2/tickets.json"
          false = 'false'
          data_ticket = {'ticket': {'subject': SUJET, 'comment': { 'html_body': COMMENTAIRE ,  'public' : false , 'uploads':  tab_token }, 'group_id' : group_id , 'assignee_id' : assignee_id , 'requester_id' : requester_id , 'ticket_form_id' : AuthConfig.get('zendesk','FORM_ID') ,  'type' : 'question' , 'priority' : 'normal'  }}

         

  Maybe something you find will help you.

  Friendships,
  Serge.

  I'm at a loss here. The file continues to not work. Here's my latest ajax code for creating upload/attachment:

  {
      url: "https://{obscured}.zendesk.com/api/v2/uploads?filename="+file_name,
      type: "POST",
      headers: {
          'Authorization': 'Basic '+wp_helper.zendesk_token,
          'Content-type': 'application/binary'
      },
      processData: false,
      data: file_base64
  }

  Note I'm passing the raw base64 content of the file.

  Hey Luke,
  
  What kind of file are you trying to upload?

  Hey Eric Nelson,

  I'm trying to upload a PDF file, but will need ability to upload docx, png etc. as well.

  Makes sense, just to confirm you're trying to do this via client-side javascript and not node.js?

  That's right yep.. using AJAX to send POST request to Zendesk api. :)

  Eric Nelson You rock! That worked perfectly. The thumbnails in Zendesk tickets now download a valid file that can be opened. We can close this ticket.

  Really appreciate it!
