CURL file upload

Hi,
I am trying to upload images via and API using CI CURL Request class. However, Codeigniter errors "CodeIgniter\HTTP\Exceptions\HTTPException 22 : The requested URL returned error: 400" referring to line 'file=>$myfile'

PHP Code:

$image = \Config\Services::image();

$data['job_id'] = $this->request->getPost('job_id');
$imagefiles = $this->request->getFiles();

$image_write_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/images/projects/task_no_'.$data['job_id'];

if (!file_exists($image_write_path)) {
    mkdir($image_write_path, 0777, true);
}

$client = service('curlrequest', [
    'baseURI' => 'BASE OF API PATH',
]);


foreach($imagefiles['images'] as $img) {
    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($img);
    $size=filesize($img);

    //save temporary file and move image (with original image name) to server filesystem
        if(! $img->hasMoved()) {
    $originalName = $img->getClientName();
    $filename = pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

    $filepath = WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' . $img->store();
    $new_file_put= $image_write_path.'/'.$filename.'.png';
    $image_view_path = base_url().'/images/projects/task_no_'.$data['job_id'].'/'.$filename.'.png';

    if( ! \Config\Services::image('imagick')
        ->withFile($filepath)
        ->convert(IMAGETYPE_PNG)
        ->save($new_file_put)) {
        unlink($filepath);
    }

    $myfile = new \CURLFile($image_view_path);

    $upload_image = $client->post('API ENDPOINT',
        [
            'headers' => [
            'Content-Type: multipart',
            'Authorization' => ['***MYTOKEN***'],
            ],
            [
            'file' => $myfile
            ]
        ]
    );

    $response = json_decode($body);
    log_message('notice', '[SUCCESS] {file}-{line}, RESPONSE - '.print_r($response, true));
}; 


Above throw the HTTP errors!!

However, using native curl with  CI \CURLfile (at bottom) I do not get the error.

PHP Code:

$myfile = new \CURLFile($image_view_path); 


PHP Code:

foreach($imagefiles['images'] as $img) {
    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($img);
    $size=filesize($img);

    //save temporary file and move image (with original image name) to server filesystem
        if(! $img->hasMoved()) {
    $originalName = $img->getClientName();
    $filename = pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

    $filepath = WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' . $img->store();
    $new_file_put= $image_write_path.'/'.$filename.'.png';
    $image_view_path = base_url().'/images/projects/task_no_'.$data['job_id'].'/'.$filename.'.png';

    if( ! \Config\Services::image('imagick')
        ->withFile($filepath)
        ->convert(IMAGETYPE_PNG)
        ->save($new_file_put)) {
        unlink($filepath);
    }

    $myfile = new \CURLFile($image_view_path);
    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
        CURLOPT_URL => '/FULL/API/PATH',
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
        CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
        CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
        CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array('file'=> $myfile),
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        'Content-Type: multipart/form-data',
        'Authorization: ***MY TOKEN***'
    ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl); 
 
log_message('notice', '[SUCCESS] {file}-{line}, RESPONSE - '.print_r($response, true)); 


Above is successful.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try

PHP Code:

$client->post('API ENDPOINT', [
    // ...
    'multipart' => [
        'file' => $myfile,
    ],
]);
