Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

0.6.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Linux - tumbleweed

Browser (if applicable)

edge/chrome latest

Confirmation

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

"detail": "Method Not Allowed"

Actual Behavior

Hi,

sorry, doubt this is a bug, but can't get clear answers as whether this is supported via the api or not... upload works through the browser interface, so i am assuming the api should work.

trying to upload a file via postman for testing, keep receiving:

"detail": "Method Not Allowed"

I have authenticated and have the token and successfully connected...

the call i created is:
Method: POST
192.168.123.43:8080/api/v1/files?files=//localhost/images/Lockkey.png
key: files
Value: //localhost/images/Lockkey.png

reviewed from: https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/api-endpoints/

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Accept: application/json"
-F "file=@/path/to/your/file" http://localhost:3000/api/v1/files/

can someone confirm definitively if you can upload a file for review using the open-webui api?

Thanks!
