unable to call API using base64 input

Question

I get errors when calling the API using base64 image. Here is my code and please let me know if there is any problem. Thanks!

Trial 1:
```python
import base64
import requests

filepath = "./my_image.jpg"
binary_fc = open(filepath, 'rb').read()  # fc aka file_content
base64_utf8_str = base64.b64encode(binary_fc).decode('utf-8')

ext = filepath.split('.')[-1]
data = f'data:image/{ext};base64,{base64_utf8_str}'

url = "https://vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com/v1"
files = { "inputimage": data }
headers = {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": my_rapidapi_key,
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com"
}
response = requests.post(url, files=files, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
```

return:
`{'message': 'Parameter error', 'message_key': '78', 'service': 'vmmr', 'status': 'FAILED', 'version': '2.0'}`

trial 2:

```python
import base64
import requests

with open("./my_image.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
    data = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

url = "https://vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com/v1"

payload = { "inputimage": data }
headers = {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": my_rapidapi_key,
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com"
}
response = requests.post(url, data=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
```

return:
`{'message': 'Parameter error', 'message_key': '78', 'service': 'vmmr', 'status': 'FAILED', 'version': '2.0'}`

```python
import requests

url = "https://vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com/v1"
files = [
    ("inputimage", ("", open("/home/car_brand_recog_test/data/images/202306120003363210102L01C01.jpg", "rb"), "image/jpg"))
]
headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": my_rapidapi_key,
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "vehicle-make-and-model-recognition.p.rapidapi.com"
}
response = requests.post(url, files=files, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
```
I ran this code but still got an error.

`{'code': '400', 'message': 'Sorry,something was wrong,please try again later.'}`
