var wp = new WPAPI({ 
    endpoint: 'https://www.mysite.com/wp-json',
    username: "my_username",
    password: "my_password"
  })

wp.media()
    // Specify a path to the file you want to upload, or a Buffer
    .file( 'path/to/file.jpg' )
    .create({
        title: 'My awesome image'
      })
      .then(res => {
        console.log(res)

Just to confirm, do you have the Basic Auth plugin installed and active?

[tridnguyen97]

I was using Basic Auth for testing the API.

same for me. Just try to reproduce the example and got an error, don't know if you got the same error ?

Failed to execute 'append' on 'FormData': parameter 2 is not of type 'Blob'.

@Cchumi Had the same issue. The media file must be uploaded from a nodejs server. It won't work out of the box via Reactjs, at least from my experience.

Works properly on WP5.4 but had the same problem mentioned here on WP4.7.3. I think this is related to WordPress version being targeted
