Google Nano Bana API Mime type challenges

Need help APIs
1

I’m setting up image generation using Google Flash 2.5.

Inputs are a prompt, AND an uploaded image.

I’m creating multiple images off one reference image uploaded, so first I upload that image to Gemini files. (image file is API GET from Amazon s3, and returns as a URL, not .png file- but upload works)

The issue I’m having is that Gemini is assigning a generic mime type to the file uploaded (application/octet-stream), when it need to be image/png or image/jpeg.

In the API connector, I’m uploading the image as “form-data” (file checked). Gemini docs say you can add meta data to the file upload and define the mime type, but bubble’s API connector allows only file or json. Adding a parameter such as “name”, doesn’t work.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Alternatively, I’d be willing for somone experience to hope on a call at an hourly rate to advise me.

(note- I’m relatively new on bubble and non technical)

SOLVED : Because the GET API image returns a URL and not a image file, I had to add the image name to the the URL with <?n=myimage.png>.

Now it picks up the correct mine type. Thanks for @siddharth for the help.
