Error sending PNG to API

Developers

I am sending images using the API directly rather the using Pixlet. I am using an unanimated PNG. This is the body of the of post I’m sending. I encode the PNG in base64 as suggested by the API documentation and confirmed it decodes into a proper PNG.

I am getting this error message I receive

{"code":2,"message":"encoding image for device: Error assembling animation","details":[]}

It looks like the service doesn’t like 16-bpp PNGs. If I convert that to an 8-bpp PNG, the API accepts it.

I’m getting this error now using Node and returning the base64 bits from this image:

Any clue as to how to correct?
