Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Form Data:
  image:    (Required. JPEG or PNG image)

📤 Example API Response – Success

This is the typical response when elephants are successfully detected in the uploaded image. 

{
  "elephant_count": 2,
  "coordinates": [
    { "x1": 120, "y1": 80, "x2": 340, "y2": 400 },
    { "x1": 450, "y1": 90, "x2": 700, "y2": 410 }
  ],
  "message": "Elephants detected"
}

📤 Example API Response – No Elephants Detected

If no elephants are found in the uploaded image, the API returns the following structure: 

{

}

🐧 cURL Example (Linux Terminal)

curl -X POST https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect \
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
  -F "image=@image-1.png"

🪟 cURL Example (Windows CMD)

curl -X POST https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect ^
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" ^
  -F "image=@image-1.png"

🧩 cURL Example (Windows CMD + SSL Fix)

Use --ssl-no-revoke if you're encountering SSL certificate issues on Windows environments. 

curl -X POST https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect ^
  -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" ^
  -F "image=@image-1.png" ^
  --ssl-no-revoke

🐍 Python Example (Using requests)

Here's how to send an image to the API using Python and the requests library. 

import requests

url = "https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect"
files = {
    "image": open("image-1.png", "rb")
}

response = requests.post(url, files=files)

if response.ok:
    print(response.json())
else:
    print("Error:", response.status_code)

🟨 JavaScript Example (Using Fetch)

Here's how to upload an image to the API using JavaScript's fetch method in the browser. 

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("image", document.querySelector("#imageInput").files[0]);

fetch("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect", {
  method: "POST",
  body: formData
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
  console.log("Success:", data);
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error("Error:", error);
});

🐘 PHP Example (Using cURL)

Here's how to send an image to the API using PHP and the built-in cURL extension. 

<?php
$api_url = "https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect";
$image_path = "image-1.png";

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => $api_url,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
        "image" => new CURLFile($image_path)
    ]
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);

if (curl_errno($curl)) {
    echo "cURL Error: " . curl_error($curl);
} else {
    echo "<pre>" . json_encode(json_decode($response), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) . "</pre>";
}

curl_close($curl);
?>

🟩 Node.js Example (Axios + FormData)

Upload an image to the API in Node.js using axios and form-data. 

const axios = require("axios");
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fs = require("fs");

const form = new FormData();
form.append("image", fs.createReadStream("image-1.png"));

axios.post("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect", form, {
  headers: form.getHeaders()
})
.then(response => {
  console.log("Response:", response.data);
})
.catch(error => {
  console.error("Error:", error.message);
});

📱 React Native Example (Fetch)

Upload an image from a React Native app using fetch. 

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("image", {
  uri: "file:///path/to/image.png",
  name: "image.png",
  type: "image/png"
});

fetch("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect", {
  method: "POST",
  body: formData,
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
  }
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(err => console.error(err));

💙 Flutter Example (Dart)

Upload an image using Flutter with the http package. 

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'dart:io';

final request = http.MultipartRequest(
  'POST',
  Uri.parse('https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect'),
);

request.files.add(await http.MultipartFile.fromPath(
  'image',
  '/path/to/image.png',
  contentType: MediaType('image', 'png'),
));

final response = await request.send();
final respStr = await response.stream.bytesToString();
print(respStr);

☕ Java Example (CLI-style, Shortened)

A simple way to call the API using Java and HttpURLConnection with an image file. 

String boundary = "===" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "===";
URL url = new URL("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary);

OutputStream out = conn.getOutputStream();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"), true);
writer.append("--" + boundary + "\r\n");
writer.append("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\"image-1.png\"\r\n");
writer.append("Content-Type: image/png\r\n\r\n").flush();

Files.copy(Paths.get("image-1.png"), out);
out.flush();
writer.append("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n").flush();
writer.close();

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String line; while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);
in.close();

🤖 Kotlin Example (Android + OkHttp)

Send an image file using OkHttp in a native Android app (Kotlin). 

val client = OkHttpClient()

val file = File("/path/to/image.png")
val requestBody = MultipartBody.Builder()
    .setType(MultipartBody.FORM)
    .addFormDataPart("image", file.name, file.asRequestBody("image/png".toMediaType()))
    .build()

val request = Request.Builder()
    .url("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect")
    .post(requestBody)
    .build()

client.newCall(request).enqueue(object : Callback {
    override fun onFailure(call: Call, e: IOException) {
        e.printStackTrace()
    }

    override fun onResponse(call: Call, response: Response) {
        println(response.body?.string())
    }
})

🧩 C# Example (HttpClient)

Upload an image to the API using HttpClient in .NET. 

using var client = new HttpClient();
var form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var image = new ByteArrayContent(File.ReadAllBytes("image-1.png"));
image.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("image/png");
form.Add(image, "image", "image-1.png");

var response = await client.PostAsync("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect", form);
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(result);

🐹 Go Example (net/http)

Call the API in Go using multipart.Writer and http.NewRequest. 

package main

import (
  "bytes"
  "fmt"
  "io"
  "mime/multipart"
  "net/http"
  "os"
)

func main() {
  file, _ := os.Open("image-1.png")
  defer file.Close()

  body := &bytes.Buffer{}
  writer := multipart.NewWriter(body)
  part, _ := writer.CreateFormFile("image", "image-1.png")
  io.Copy(part, file)
  writer.Close()

  req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect", body)
  req.Header.Set("Content-Type", writer.FormDataContentType())

  client := &http.Client{}
  resp, _ := client.Do(req)
  defer resp.Body.Close()
  io.Copy(os.Stdout, resp.Body)
}

💎 Ruby Example (Net::HTTP)

Use Net::HTTP to send an image via multipart form. 

require "net/http"
require "uri"

uri = URI("https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect")
request = Net::HTTP::Post::Multipart.new(uri.path, {
  "image" => UploadIO.new(File.open("image-1.png"), "image/png", "image-1.png")
})

response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
  http.request(request)
end

puts response.body

🍏 Swift Example (URLSession)

Upload an image using Swift and URLSession. 

let url = URL(string: "https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"

let boundary = UUID().uuidString
request.setValue("multipart/form-data; boundary=\(boundary)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

var body = Data()
// Append image file (image-1.png)
let fileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "image-1", withExtension: "png")!
if let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: fileURL) {
  body.append("--\(boundary)\r\n".data(using: .utf8)!)
  body.append("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\"image-1.png\"\r\n".data(using: .utf8)!)
  body.append("Content-Type: image/png\r\n\r\n".data(using: .utf8)!)
  body.append(imageData)
  body.append("\r\n--\(boundary)--\r\n".data(using: .utf8)!)
}

let task = URLSession.shared.uploadTask(with: request, from: body) { data, response, error in
  if let data = data {
    print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
  }
}
task.resume()

💻 C/C++ Example (Using libcurl)

Send an image to the API in C or C++ using libcurl for lightweight, embedded, or native system integration. 

#include <curl/curl.h>

int main() {
    CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
    if (!curl) return 1;

    curl_mime *form = curl_mime_init(curl);
    curl_mimepart *field = curl_mime_addpart(form);
    curl_mime_name(field, "image");
    curl_mime_filedata(field, "image-1.png");

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.hecms.mpowerr.com/public/v1/detect");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, form);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);

    curl_mime_free(form);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    return 0;
}
