from fastapi import FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Image(BaseModel):
    data: str

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/upload_image/")
async def upload_image(image: Image):
    # Decode the base64 image data
    decoded_image = base64.b64decode(image.data)
    
    # Save the image to a file or perform any desired processing
    # For example, you can save the image to a file like this:
    with open("image.jpg", "wb") as file:
        file.write(decoded_image)
    
    return {"message": "Image uploaded successfully"}

# Load the image file
with open("image.jpg", "rb") as file:
    image_data = file.read()
    
# Encode the image data to base64
encoded_image = base64.b64encode(image_data).decode("utf-8")

# Send a POST request with the base64 encoded image data
url = "http://localhost:8000/upload_image/"
payload = {"data": encoded_image}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload)

print(response.json())
