### Request

```bash
curl -X POST -H "X-Eto-API-Key: eto_your_key" -F "image=@photo.jpg" -F "rank=1" "https://eto.tools/api/v1/shops/12345678/listings/1234567890/images"
```

```python
import requests

url = "https://eto.tools/api/v1/shops/12345678/listings/1234567890/images"
headers = {"X-Eto-API-Key": "eto_your_key"}
files = {"image": open("photo.jpg", "rb")}
data = {"rank": "1"}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data, timeout=120)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())
```

```javascript
const url = "https://eto.tools/api/v1/shops/12345678/listings/1234567890/images";
const form = new FormData();
form.append("image", fileInput.files[0]);
form.append("rank", "1");

const response = await fetch(url, {
  method: "POST",
  body: form,
  headers: {
    "X-Eto-API-Key": "eto_your_key",
  },
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Eto API ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Response

`application/json`, passed through from Etsy’s `/v3/application/shops/{shop_id}/listings/{listing_id}/images` verbatim. The field-by-field data model is in the [v2 preview reference](https://eto.tools/eto-dev-api-v2/), which documents these same routes alongside the whole Etsy schema.

### Errors

Failures answer with the shared error body described in the Errors section: `{"error": {"code", "status", "message", "hint", "docs"}}`. Branch on `code`, not on the message.

This endpoint can additionally return `STORE_NOT_CONNECTED` (403) when the shop is not linked to your account, and `STORE_TOKEN_EXPIRED` (503) when its Etsy authorisation has lapsed and needs reconnecting.
