How to handle a file form request and send by REST API - django

Question

I'm trying to upload files, documents and images (once) using a Django form. The idea is to send it over an internal REST API that processes the file, stores it, and does other things.
The API is working but I can't successfully send the file over the API.
This is my code.
Here I process the form
def postNewFile(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
# create a form instance and populate it with data from the request:
form = PostNewFile(request.POST, request.FILES)
# check whether it's valid:
if form.is_valid():
file_uploaded = request.FILES.get('file_uploaded')
file_name = file_uploaded.name
content_type = file_uploaded.content_type
formatType = form.cleaned_data['type']
category = form.cleaned_data['type']
description = form.cleaned_data['type']
response = postFile(file_uploaded, file_name, formatType, category, description, content_type)
if response == 0:
return HttpResponse('<H1>Enviado exitosamente</H1>')
else:
return HttpResponse('<H1>Error interno</H1>')
else:
print('No es valido')
return HttpResponse('<H1>Error en el formulario</H1>')
else:
return HttpResponse('<H1>Error en el formulario</H1>')
Here I make de API request
def postFile(doc, name, docType, category, description, content_type):
try:
url = URL_API+"file/"
payload={}
docs=[
('document',(name+'.'+docType, open(doc,'rb'),content_type))
]
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer as',
'name': name,
'type': docType,
'category': category,
'description': description,
'content-type': content_type
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=docs)
print(response.text)
return 0
except Exception as e:
print(e)
return -1
