apostrophe: PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large when trying to POST to apostrophe-headless API

I am using apostrophe-headless, and my payloads are slightly big since I am storing images as base64 strings, so some of the requests fail with this:

I tried setting apostrophe-express.bodyParser to {limit: '50mb', extended: true}, but that doesn’t seem to work.

Any ideas on how to increase the request size limit?

This seems to have worked:

bodyParser = {
  json: {limit: '50mb', extended: true},
  urlencoded: {limit: '50mb', extended: true}
};

better use (you can change the limit of data as you wish - for example 10mb):

app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: ‘10mb’, extended: true})) app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: ‘10mb’, extended: true}))

i tried change limit on node_module body-parser from 100kb to 10000kb and it works

This work for me

app.use(bodyParser.json({
  limit: '50mb'
}));

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  limit: '50mb',
  parameterLimit: 100000,
  extended: true 
}));

if you using Nginx on your server you should config Nginx too

server {
    ...
   client_body_buffer_size    50M; 
   client_max_body_size       50M;
}
