I'm just implementing an import module. First I implemented the functionality in Python. I used the requests module to access the data api. All worked fine.
Now I'm trying to convert the implementation to Joplin/Javascript. At the moment I have 2 problems:
1. I got an exception when posting ['auth'] to the data api. ( **there is no function dispatch** ). The same (e.g. /auth) works with curl in Windows Powershell.
2. I cannot post resources as byte arrays with the post method. In Python I got it working. Is there a possibility to do it this way? I want to circumvent the creation of local files and do work with buffers only.
This is my piece of code where I post the binary content to Joplin:
```auto
public post_resource = async function(meta_data: any, content: Uint8Array) : Promise
{
try
{
var title = meta_data['title'];
var metadata = JSON.stringify(meta_data);
var metadata_encoded = this.encoder.encode(metadata);
var data = { props: [null, metadata_encoded], data: [title, content] };
var resp = await this.post(['resources'], { }, null, data);
return resp;
}
catch (e)
{
console.error('Exception in Joplin.post_resource: ' + e);
return { id: 'phantasy.pdf', title: title };
}
}
```
Can anyone help?

I suppose you don't need to authenticate when your plugin is already running inside Joplin.

Indeed, it works. Thank you!

In the meantime I write the resource to a temp file and provide a path to api. It works. Problem solved!
