Using swagger I am not seeing any interface out of the box that would allow me to upload category images via API calls, in the same fashion as I can do with product images by base_64 encoding them.
Does anyone have a ready module that would allows me to upload category images? or give point me in the right direction.
After lots of playing around with Magento, trying to figure out all the magic going on, I found a solution to my problem, and am adding a solution for those who may come across the same task.
1 - Go to your app/etc/modules/YourPackage_YourModule.xml This is what I have:
<config>
<modules>
<YourPackage_YourModule>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>community</codePool>
</YourPackage_YourModule>
</modules>
<frontend>
<routers>
<yourmodule>
<use>standard</use>
<args>
<module>YourPackage_YourModule</module>
<frontName>yourmodule</frontName>
</args>
</yourmodule>
</routers>
</frontend>
</config>
this will create a route for http://yourmagento.com/yourmodule/yourcontroller/youraction
2- Go to app/code/community/YourPackage/YourModule/controllers/ Create your YourController.php. This is mine:
<?php
class YourPackage_YourModule_YourController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
$response = array('my_key'=> 'my_value');
$this->getResponse()->clearHeaders()->setHeader('Content-type','application/json',true);
$this->getResponse()->setBody(json_encode($response));
}
}
?>
There's a lot of magic going on with the naming conventions, for a more in-depth walk-through, check out Magento for Developers: Part 3 - Magento Controller Dispatch

Unfortunately, there is no endpoint to upload category image, I worked on this case before, and i would like to share my solution
first of all, you need to build a custom endpoint to upload the image to this path (send the data in base64 then save it in this path)
lets say your image name is your_image.jpg
after you save this image in this path, you can send the data using the standard magento endpoint
