I know post allows us to write record into a tulip tables. Is it possible to write an image to Tulip through API calls? To be more specific, i am not talking about writing an image link to Tulip tables, but automatically upload an image through API calls?

If you use Base64 format you can store image with text and a standard payload.

This sounds very encouraging. Do you have an example of constructing the payload to send via the Tulip API to update a table record?

Hi,  
Has anyone been able to register images in a table via the API for this?  
I want to display many images dynamically switching between them on the app, but this issue is stopping me.  
It would be helpful if you could show me an example of a connector or something similar.

@youri.regnaud would you be able to share any examples you have of this (based on your response on this thread a while ago)?
