Hello @vishruth-ram  
Thank you for sharing more information  
The API you are trying to use accepts path but on Thunkable you can send files only as URLs.  
You will need to use a [backend service such as Xano](https://blog.thunkable.com/backend-service-no-code-app-xano) that will:

1. receive the URL
2. convert it to a file
3. send it as a path on your API.

Another user followed the same process to solve his issue here: [Getting Error while Sending API request in Thunkable - #15 by whoocoder](https://community.thunkable.com/t/getting-error-while-sending-api-request-in-thunkable/2631300/15)
