Integrating React Native with RapidAPI for AI Image Colorization

I am updating my React Native app’s image selection to use RapidAPI’s updated AI colorizer with file uploads. See new sample code below. Help fix integration issues.

import axios from 'axios';

const formBlob = new FormData();
formBlob.append('picFile', 'image_data');
formBlob.append('adjustment', '15');

axios.post('https://api.example.com/colorizeImage', formBlob, {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
    'API-Key': 'YOUR_NEW_API_KEY'
  }
})
.then(result => console.log(result.data))
.catch(err => console.error('Upload failed:', err));

In my experience, ensuring that the file being uploaded is actually a valid image object rather than a placeholder string is essential. I initially encountered issues when the file was not correctly formatted, which led to unexpected errors. To resolve this, I made sure that my image file was properly converted into a Blob object. Additionally, instead of forcing the Content-Type header, I allowed axios to handle this automatically, which minimizes conflicts. Verifying that the API-Key is accurate and up-to-date also helped solidify the integration. Testing on different simulators further revealed subtle inconsistencies, so a thorough review of the file handling process is advised for a stable implementation.
