When I am trying to post the file that I have received from a post request, it is giving me an error as:

expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not FileStorage

How am I suppose to post the file? A proper syntax is what I am looking for. However without posting file, that is only posting data is working fine.

from PIL import Image
from flask_restful import Resource, request, Api
import requests

class fileSendingApi(Resource):
    def post(self):
          images=open(request.files['my_image_1'],'rb')
          URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/final_img_api'
          file={"my_image_2": images}
          values={"auth_key": "some_auth_key"}
          response = requests.post(URL, files=file, data=values)
          output = response.json()

You have a mistake in your code:

images=open(request.files['my_image_1'],'rb')

When using open you are actually transforming the file from web-uploaded file to FileStorage. What you want to do is use the file that was uploaded:
images=request.files['my_image_1']
and it should work.

By the way, if you want to save the image use: images.save(FILE_PATH) instead of open()
