Base64 Encoding for Image Uploads

Most of the Mirako APIs takes image upload in Base64 encoded string format. This is a common way to represent binary data in text format, which is useful for transferring images over text-based protocols like HTTP.

Encoding Images to Base64

Below is an example of how to encode an image file to a Base64 string in Python:

python
import base64

def encode_image_to_base64(image_path):
    with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:
        encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')
    return encoded_string
