Summary

Hi. I am trying to upload a image to google drive that is in bytes format. However, I get the following error:

UnicodeDecodeError Traceback (most recent call last)
g:\My Drive\xFiles\Work\ReMedia\KID\MIO52\Python\workspace.ipynb Cell 19 in <cell line: 6>()
3 credentials = Credentials.from_authorized_user_info(info={"client_id": GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, "client_secret": GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, "refresh_token": GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN})
4 service = googleapiclient.discovery.build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)
----> 6 media = MediaFileUpload(screenshot,mimetype='image/png',)
7 file_metadata = {'name': f'{adid}.png', 'parents': [drive_folder_id]}
10 try:

594 if mimetype is None:
595 # No mimetype provided, make a guess.
596 mimetype, _ = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x89 in position 0: invalid start byte

Using the following code:

The code:

Upload file to Google Drive

credentials = Credentials.from_authorized_user_info(info={"client_id": GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, "client_secret": GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, "refresh_token": GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN})
service = googleapiclient.discovery.build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)

media = MediaFileUpload(screenshot,mimetype='image/png',)
file_metadata = {'name': f'{adid}.png', 'parents': [drive_folder_id]}

try:
file = service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
print(f'File ID: {file.get("id")} uploaded successfully to folder ID: {drive_folder_id}')
except HttpError as error:
print(f'An error occurred: {error}')
file = None

NOTE: sceenshot is in bytes format

If I change to io.BytesIO(screenshot) I get the error:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not BytesIO

Any suggestions>?
