Item does not have a file (error 500) when adding a PNG file to portal using add item operation

I want to add 8 PNG images using the "Add Item" operation within the REST API to me enterprise portal. I am following this documentation: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/users-groups-and-items/add-item.htm

Currently my script uploads the item to the portal and i also get a success response with the item id but when i try to download the file or share it then it open a page saying "Item does not have a file . Error 500" . My whole idea of adding the images is to share it with other users and update images on daily basis. How can i properly add these images to the portal through REST API: Here is my current code:

def add_item(username,File): """ Deelte an existing item from portal Input: - item_id: id of the item to be removed from the portal - username: username of user which has uploaded the item Return: - Flag with a list of messages """ # set request header authorization type header = { 'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}' } # build url u_rl = f"{portal}/sharing/rest/content/users/{username}/addItem" req = requests.post(url=u_rl, headers=header,data={"files":File,"filename":"asdas","f": "json","title":"Myfile","item_type":"file","type":"Image","verify":False}) print(req.json()) if __name__ == "__main__": user = input("input your USERNAME: ") password = getpass.getpass("input your PASSWORD: ") portal = "https://my/portal" token = generate_token(user, password, portal=portal) item = r'C:\Users\arcgis\test.png' uploadFile = open(item, "rb") File= {'file':uploadFile} add_item(user,File)
