# [How can I upload attachments (e.g. images) using the media WP-API endpoint?](https://github.com/kadamwhite/wordpress-rest-api/issues/116)

Here's my code using request:

```javascript
var request = require('request');
	var fs = require('fs');

	var formData = {
  		file: fs.createReadStream('path_and_filename')
	};

	request.post({url:media_endpoint_url, formData: formData}, 
		function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {	
		  if (err) {
		    return console.error('upload failed:', err);
		  }
		  console.log('Upload successful!  Server responded with:', body);
		})
	.auth('username','password',true);
```
