Trying to POST a csv via an API call

[Tim Grimes]

Filemaker friends:

I have been struggling for weeks to get my FM solution to post a CSV to an external service via a POST request to their API.  I have successfully created scripts with the "Insert from URL" script step for simple POST and GET requests, but nothing that transfers a file. 

Here is the doc:

https://apidocs.straticsnetworks.com/v1.1/reference#upload-new-phone-list

Here is the URL in the script step: 

httpspost://api.ivr-platform.com/api/phonelistsaccount=xxxxxxxx&file="$file

And my headers look like this:

" -H \"Accept: application/json\" "& " -H \"Authorization: Jwt "&$token&"\""& "--dump-header $$dump"

The .csv file in the variable $file is stored in a container.  All I can ever get the server to return is an error message that says: 

{"Error":"'file' is a required parameter"}

Does the $file variable need to go in the header?  If so, what tag does it need?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the --upload-file option in cURL?
