Hi folks, I'm new to Node Red but I'm loving it so far. 1 week in and I'm already building flows that I never imagined I'd be able to achieve with my skill levels. It really is an amazing tool! My question is around the integration of Clarifai in my flows. I would like to do some object recogni…

[image] LetsDoIt: Do you have any other thoughts? Have you added the base64 text from the file into the message? e.g. //get base64 text from payload before setting up msg for http request var b64 = msg.payload; //prepare msg for http request msg.headers = {}; msg.payload = {}; msg.method =…

Here is the curl command converted to a http request. Untested as i do not have a Clarifai account. [{"id":"79b1979c.9de228","type":"function","z":"9b3f9f31.c45298","name":"","func":"msg.method = \"POST\";\nmsg.headers[\"Authorization\"] = 'Key YOUR_API_KEY';\nmsg.headers[\"Content-Type\"] = \"appl…

Sorry i never set the headers to an object. Use this function node. [{"id":"79b1979c.9de228","type":"function","z":"9b3f9f31.c45298","name":"","func":"msg.headers = {};\nmsg.payload ={};\nmsg.method = \"POST\";\nmsg.headers[\"Authorization\"] = 'Key YOUR_API_KEY';\nmsg.headers[\"Content-Type\"] = \…

That's super, thanks! It seems to be posting to the website now and I'm getting a response. The response is "Malformed or invalid request", but I guess that's something picky about how the site needs the request formatted. I'll have a fiddle with it to see if I can sort it and post here if I mana…

Me again... I think I figured it out. Instead of msg.payload.image = { "url": "https://samples.clarifai.com/metro-north.jpg" } I had to put msg.payload = { "inputs": [ { "data": { "image": { "url": "https://samples.clarifai.com/metro-north.j…

Hi, Sorry to bother you again, but after the success with the URL lookup, I have been trying to get the base64 upload to work and I'm baffled. The CURL code looks like this : // Larger Files (Greater than 195 KB) curl -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Key YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: applica…

[image] LetsDoIt: $(base64 /home/user/image.png) This section will need to be a base64 encode string Try something like this to convert image, you will need node-red-node-base64 (node) - Node-RED [{"id":"c9bb246f.fb3f28","type":"inject","z":"9b3f9f31.c45298","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload…

Hi, Sorry, I already figured that bit out and the file is converted to base64 already so I don't think that is the issue. Do you have any other thoughts? I'm not sure if it has something to do with the FILEIN command in the curl code, but even after Googling I can't see how this works differently…

Wow, that worked a treat!! :smiley: Thank you both for your fast responses and your detailed replies. My flow is looking fantastic now. I'm taking live snapshots from a web camera and Clarifai is identifying the subject. My son and I are building a system which will identify the birds on our bi…

Glad it is stored. For the community, would you be kind enough to share the final code that uses Clarifai service? Perhaps a little how to?

Hi,

Thank you so much for your quick and very detailed reply.

Unfortunately, I am getting a strange error in the Function node when I have added MY_API_KEY which says "TypeError: Cannot set property 'Authorization' of undefined".

Do you have any idea why it would say that and how I can resolve it?

Thanks again for your time and expertise!
