The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your file system and be preceded
by `@`. For example:
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--form "file=@dk.png" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/wikis/attachments"
```
Example response:

"url" : "uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png",
"markdown" : ""
}
}
