Python

Python 3 has a standard API for making HTTP requests. The host x-raydar.info is already filled here, and so the URL replacement just needs to be filled by the path at the end, depending on which algorithm (Computer Vision or NLP) is being called:

• /api/cv

  for DICOM files and the Computer Vision algorithm

					
import http.client
import mimetypes
from codecs import encode

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("x-raydar.info")
dataList = []
boundary = 'wL36Yn8afVp8Ag7AmP8qZ0SA4n1v9T'
dataList.append(encode('--' + boundary))
dataList.append(encode('Content-Disposition: form-data; name=file; filename={0}'.format('/path/to/file')))

fileType = mimetypes.guess_type('/path/to/file')[0] or 'application/octet-stream'
dataList.append(encode('Content-Type: {}'.format(fileType)))
dataList.append(encode(''))

with open('/path/to/file', 'rb') as f:
	dataList.append(f.read())
dataList.append(encode('--' + boundary))
dataList.append(encode('Content-Disposition: form-data; name=key;'))
dataList.append(encode('Content-Type: {}'.format('text/plain')))
dataList.append(encode(''))

dataList.append(encode("<Key goes here>"))
dataList.append(encode('--'+boundary+'--'))
dataList.append(encode(''))
body = b'\r\n'.join(dataList)
payload = body
headers = {
    'Content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary={}'.format(boundary)
}
conn.request("POST", "<URL path goes here (either "/api/cv" or "/api/nlp")>", payload, headers)
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode("utf-8"))
					 
				

Requests

Requests is an additional library and syntactically much simpler than the standard http.client package.

Firstly it must be installed via pip from any CLI

					
python -m pip install requests					
					
				

Then it can be used to build a client in fewer lines

					
import requests

url = "https://x-raydar.info/api/cv"

payload={'key': '<Key goes here>'}

FILEPATH = '/path/to/file' #It has to be a DICOM file 

files=[
  ('file',('file',open(FILEPATH,'rb'),'application/octet-stream'))
]
headers = {}
try:
    response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files, timeout=10)
    print(response.text)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout as err:
    print(err)
