Post file using wp_remote_post in WordPress

functions.php

<?php

$local_file = 'file_path'; //path to a local file on your server
$post_fields = array(
	'name' => 'value',
);
$boundary = wp_generate_password( 24 );
$headers  = array(
	'content-type' => 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' . $boundary,
);
$payload = '';
// First, add the standard POST fields:
foreach ( $post_fields as $name => $value ) {
	$payload .= '--' . $boundary;
	$payload .= "\r\n";
	$payload .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="' . $name .
		'"' . "\r\n\r\n";
	$payload .= $value;
	$payload .= "\r\n";
}
// Upload the file
if ( $local_file ) {
	$payload .= '--' . $boundary;
	$payload .= "\r\n";
	$payload .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="' . 'upload' .
		'"; filename="' . basename( $local_file ) . '"' . "\r\n";
	//        $payload .= 'Content-Type: image/jpeg' . "\r\n";
	$payload .= "\r\n";
	$payload .= file_get_contents( $local_file );
	$payload .= "\r\n";
}
$payload .= '--' . $boundary . '--';
$response = wp_remote_post( $req,
	array(
		'headers'    => $headers,
		'body'       => $payload,
	)
);

Thanks so much for this!

Thanks

Thanks. It helped me

Funciona perfecto! Gracias!

Thanks, helped me a lot.
In case this ever happens to anyone, the API I send the file to returns a 415 error when there is a special character in the boundary.Just set the 2nd parameter of wp_generate_password to false to avoid this.

Helped me too
