How do I use EASY API to send PTT audio from local file system

[ahmeaqas]

Hi.

I am playing with your software, it is fabulous. For couple of days, I am struggling with send a voice message using EasyAPI. May someone pls help in setting up the file argument?

{ "args": { "to": "[email protected]", "file": "data:audio/mpeg;src=aFile.mp3" } }

@HobbytronicsPK thanks.

data:audio/mpeg; is a mimetype that is prepended to a base64 encoded string of the file, not the file reference.

reference the file directly, e.g:

{ "args": { "to": "[email protected]", "file": "/home/user/downloads/aFile.mp3" } }

Or use a Direct Download URL

{ "args": { "to": "[email protected]", "file": "https://somewebsite.com/aFile.mp3" } }

or use https://base64.guru/ to convert your file to a DataURL and use that for the file property.

Make sure to use sendPtt

I just noticed that this is on the docker repo.

Unless you've mounted your host machines download folder onto the container as a volume, I would suggest just uploading it somewhere and using direct download URL instead of the other methods
