I am using N8N in a compose. I have an API, created in Python, to send to Analyze to Virus Total.
I want to download the attachments to send them to that API, but I am having a hard time attaching the files in the POST method.
This is the method to send the file, it works without problems.
@app.route(‘/analyze’, methods=[‘POST’])
def analyze_file():
# Check if the API Key is loaded
if not API_KEY:
return jsonify({“error”: “API Key not found”}), 400# Check if a file is present in the request if 'file' not in request.files: return jsonify({"error": "No file part in the request"}), 400 # Get the file from the request file = request.files['file'] # Check if the file has a name if file.filename == '': return jsonify({"error": "No selected file"}), 400 # If file exists, proceed to send it to VirusTotal for analysis if file: # Save the file temporarily to send it to VirusTotal temp_path = Path(f"/tmp/{file.filename}") file.save(temp_path) # Open the file in binary mode and send it for analysis with open(temp_path, 'rb') as f: params = {'apikey': API_KEY} files = {'file': (file.filename, f)} response = requests.post(upload_url, files=files, params=params) # Check if the upload was successful if response.status_code == 200: result = response.json() scan_id = result['scan_id'] # Wait for the file analysis to be processed time.sleep(10) # Query the report using the scan_id report_params = {'apikey': API_KEY, 'resource': scan_id} report_response = requests.get(report_url, params=report_params) # Check if the report retrieval was successful if report_response.status_code == 200: report_result = report_response.json() # Get the number of antivirus engines that flagged the file as malicious positives = report_result.get('positives', 0) total = report_result.get('total', 0) # Build the result object to be returned as JSON file_result = { "file_name": file.filename, "scan_id": scan_id, "positives": positives, "total": total, "is_malicious": positives > 0, "permalink": report_result.get('permalink') } # Return the result as JSON return jsonify(file_result), 200 else: return jsonify({"error": "Error retrieving report from VirusTotal"}), 500 else: return jsonify({"error": "Error uploading file to VirusTotal"}), 500
I’m getting errors like Bad request - please check your parameters
My HTTP Request configuration is to raise attachment_0. To do this configure Send Body with the following Form-Data parameters
I leave the image.
Any advice? Thank you very much!
