For Rest API to upload images from host to host:

import urllib2
import requests

api_host = 'https://host.url.com/upload/'
headers = {'Content-Type' : 'image/jpeg'}
image_url = 'http://image.url.com/sample.jpeg'

img_file = urllib2.urlopen(image_url)

response = requests.post(api_host, data=img_file.read(), headers=headers, verify=False)

You can use option verify set to False to omit SSL verification for HTTPS requests.

I confronted similar issue when I wanted to post image file to a rest API from Python  Not wechat API though   The solution for me was to use  data  parameter to post the file in binary data instead of  files    Requests API reference  data   open  your image png   rb   read   r   requests post your url data data    Hope this works for your case

In case if you were to pass the image as part of JSON along with other attributes  you can use the below snippet  client py import base64 import json                      import requests  api    http   localhost 8080 test  image file    sample image png   with open image file   quot rb quot   as f      im bytes   f read           im b64   base64 b64encode im bytes  decode  quot utf8 quot    headers     Content-type    application json    Accept    text plain      payload   json dumps   quot image quot   im b64   quot other key quot    quot value quot    response   requests post api  data payload  headers headers  try      data   response json            print data                  except requests exceptions RequestException      print response text   server py import io import json                     import base64                   import logging              import numpy as np from PIL import Image  from flask import Flask  request  jsonify  abort  app   Flask   name              app logger setLevel logging DEBUG         app route  quot  test quot   methods   POST    def test method                   print request json            if not request json or  image  not in request json           abort 400                      get the base64 encoded string     im b64   request json  image          convert it into bytes       img bytes   base64 b64decode im b64 encode  utf-8           convert bytes data to PIL Image object     img   Image open io BytesIO img bytes          PIL image object to numpy array     img arr   np asarray img            print  img shape   img arr shape         process your img arr here                access other keys of json       print request json  other key         result dict     output    output key       return result dict       def run server api        app run host  0 0 0 0   port 8080        if   name       quot   main   quot            run server api
