Incorrect error message "...send your media file under the following key: 'media'." using .set_bytes #8

Description

@mikowals

Calling client.set_bytes(binaryImage) was leading to the error response:

Error: Sightengine error: Please make sure you encode your form data with the 'multipart/form-data' encoding and send your media file under the following key: 'media'.

I eventually fixed it by providing a string as a second argument to .set_bytes. I attempted this solution from reading the definition of set_bytes and realising it may require the filename as a second argument.

If the missing filename is the cause of the error, then I expect set_bytes to throw an error explaining it is required. The documentation and examples should also be updated with the filename argument.

For anyone landing here with the same issue my working code is:

import Sightengine from 'sightengine'
sightengine(SIGHT_ENGINE_API_USER, SIGHT_ENGINE_API_SECRET)
  .check(['nudity'])
  .set_bytes(binaryImage, 'filename')
  .then(function(res) {...})
  .catch(function(e) {...})
