title: POST method to upload file with json object in python flask app
body: <p>I am stuck in a problem where I am trying to build single API which will upload file along with json object. I need this API to create webhook.</p>
  
  <p>Using multi part, I am able to upload file and in option filed I am able to send json object. </p>
  
  <p>In flask app when I am trying to retrieve json object its converting as blob type. I tried to convert it base64 then again converting into string but whole process is not working.</p>
  
  <p>Let me know if anyone has good solution I can combine file and json object together and fetch it by flask python app.</p>
  
  <p>zz is the variable in my code where I am trying to store my json object. name is the field where I am passing my json object with file.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>My current code</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER
  
  @app.route('/upload/',methods = ['POST'])
  def upload():
      customer_name='abc'
      if request.method == 'POST':
  
          zz=base64.b64encode(request.files['name'].read())
          try:
              file = request.files['file']
              if file:
                  file.filename=customer_name+'_'+str(datetime.now())+'.'+file.filename.split('.')[-1]
                  filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
                  path=os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename)
                  file.save(path)
  
              return jsonify({
                  'status':success,
                  'junk_data':[],
                  'message':error
                  })
          except Exception as err:
              logger.error(str(datetime.now())+' '+str(err))
              return jsonify({
                  'status':False,
                  'junk_data':[],
                  'message':str(err)
