 * Hello,
 * I’m having a problem with API integration.
 * I’ve seen that there here is already ticket. I see that it is resolved, so I’m
   interested in how to fix this problem. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-upload-to-api/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/file-upload-to-api/)
 * So basically I’m using contact form for users to send data, which is redirected
   via API to my Laravel service.
 * So I’m having a problem when user uploads a file, my service only gets title 
   of that file, to be precise it gets only a string without uploaded file. I’ve
   tried to debbug this for a while, and I’ve found that there is a problem with
   API in this case. My service works when using postman to send data, I’ll show
   you some log examples below.
 * **This is what I should get:**
 *     ```
       'file_zk' =>
         Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile::__set_state(array(
            'test' => false,
            'originalName' => 'Screenshot_20181221_150808.png',
            'mimeType' => 'image/png',
            'error' => 0,
            'hashName' => NULL,
         )),
       ```
   
 * **This is the problematic one, the one I get:**
 *     ```
       ’file_vlasnicki_plan’ => ‘5e43d46f65f5d.pdf’,
       ‘file_vlasnicki_list’ => ‘karolina-nadi.pdf’,
       ‘file_izvod_plana’ => ‘icbtech-2.png’
       ```
   
 * Thank you in advance!
