  Yes, you're right, the endpoint was incorrect. However, even though doing it right it still doesn't work for me. The endpoint is right, the content type is multipart/form-data, and the image is selected as a file. I don't know why there is http error 404

  
  

  
  

  I'm still having the same issue. Tried with Postman and Insomnia, and the 404 error persists. Unable to figure it out. Even, I have installed payload on two different machines but the result is the same.

  Instead of filename, change the key to file.

  
  

  
  

  From the docs:

  
  

  Send it all the data that your Collection requires, as well as a file key containing the file that you'd like to upload.

  that is exactly what I did. In both screenshots, the file is selected, but it still fails to upload to the media collection. It fails no matter what I do.

  The first screenshot you have it very close, but there is an extra "n" on the end. It should just be

  file

  , not

  filen

  .

  I was thinking maybe he doesn't allow create on permission section

  Thank you for reply, but file or filename, these are name of the input, but the selection is file type, so, I think that shouldn't be a problem. This a plain code for media upload, and the user is admin, not editor.

  import { CollectionConfig } from "payload/types";;

  
  
  

  const Media: CollectionConfig = {

  
  

  slug: 'media',

  
  

  admin: {

  
  

  useAsTitle: 'title',

  
  

  defaultColumns: ['filename', 'id'],

  
  

  },

  
  

  upload: true,

  
  

  fields: [

  
  

  {

  
  

  name: 'alt',

  
  

  type: 'text',

  
  

  }

  
  

  ]

  
  

  }

  
  
  

  export default Media;

  
  

  
  

  this is the same code as in the screenshot.

  auth: false,

  
  

  access: {

  
  

  read: () => true,

  
  

  create: () => true

  
  

  },

  
  

  
  

  add this above fields @artmelkon

  remove the

  /create

  . So just

  http://localhost:4000/api/media

  🙂

  
  

  
  

  The "POST" automatically means "create"

  I've created another test posing a new page. When I use /api/pages/create endpoint it fails, but when I use /api/pages it succeded, it is puzzling but it did work

  
  

  
  

  Yes, it did work. Thanks

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/rest-api/overview#collections

  check it out this section, it showcases all operations you can do on a collection with the rest API - together with an example and the URL / rest operation you have to use

  
  

  
  

  Glad it works now!
