I am trying to create dataset using Einstein Vision API, but getting below error

{
  "message": "The 'data' parameter must be supplied supplied as a one of the supported file formats for image."
}

This error message is not listed on below page

https://metamind.readme.io/docs/api-error-codes-and-messages

May I know what could be the issue ?

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "path=https://www.dropbox.com/s/pk19t9mwfb0qomr/players.zip"  https://api.einstein.ai/v1/vision/datasets/upload/sync

Einstein visions documentation states that it supports the following image file types:

The supported image file types are PNG, JPG, and JPEG.

your error message states that the file format for your image is incorrect, since you have not shared it, I will assume that the error message is accurate and you are using another file format or did not specify it.

It's a super frustrating error message as you clearly are passing in the path parameter with the "URL of the .zip file".

I've come to the conclusion that metamind just can't (currently) work with zip files hosted by dropbox.

Try the same command but change the path to either https://developer.salesforce.com/files/Cats.zip or http://einstein.ai/images/mountainvsbeach.zip. It should work fine.

But then if you host those exact same zip files on Dropbox it won't work. There is something in the way Dropbox is serving up the files that doesn't work in this scenario.

The simplest solution would be to find another service to host the publicly accessible zip file.

Alternatively, I've had success with OneDrive.

  1. I get the sharing link from one drive. E.g. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoG_XTqjLWrCo7kpMul9Gr3niCXwgw.
  2. Open that link in an incogneto Chrome window.
  3. Get the actual zip link when the download starts.
