Hi,

I have created the admin API key and successfully created the new post. But I am now facing the problem of uploading any file. Not the Image it can be xls, pdf, csv. Please check below the code I used for creating a post. I had passed the file parameter but it is not working.

$headers = [  
'Authorization: Ghost ’ . $token,  
‘Content-Type: application/json’,  
‘Accept-Version: v3.0’,  
];  
$payload = json\_encode([‘posts’ =\> [[‘title’ =\> ‘Hello sgdfg’, ‘html’ =\> ‘

My post content. Work in progress…

’]]]);

Any help is highly appreciated.
