I can't upload epub file

CINO

I have been having issues uploading epub file through a url link. But i keep getting the error

{

 message: 'An unknown file format not allowed',

 name: 'Error',

 http_code: 400

}

When i try to use a preset that doesn't have any format, it work but then it doesn't upload as an Epub file.

Hi there,

When you upload a file that is not an image, or a video, you will need to pass the resource type to your upload method call. The resource type should be 'raw'. An example of how to do that in Node is as follows:

const cloudinary = require("cloudinary").v2;

cloudinary.uploader
    .upload(
        < pass the file here >,
        {
            resource_type: "raw",
        },
    )
    .then((uploadResult) => console.log(uploadResult))
    .catch((error) => console.error(error));

Here is some documentation to get you started:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Tia

Yh, this is exactly how i did it, like i explained when i upload without a preset, it sends but the file doesn't save as EPUB, but when i use a preset it throws an error,  message: 'An unknown file format not allowed',

I'm using a link for the EPUB file i am sending

Hi there,

I see that the API upload preset default for Raw is "book_preset" in your account.

I have tried to upload the file starting with "Chimamanda_Ngoz.." to your account through the console UI which uses the "ml_default" preset and I see the extension of EPUB.

Could you provide me with a specific example where it fails and what is the exact call you are doing?

Thanks,

Wissam
