## TL;DR

For "`` *** square.core.api\_error.ApiError: status\_code: 400, body: {'errors': [{'category': 'INVALID\_REQUEST\_ERROR', 'code': 'INVALID\_CONTE": the SDK's File type lets you set it explicitly: pass a tuple like (os.path.basename(pdf\_filepath), open(pdf\_filepath, 'rb'), 'application/pdf') as image_file in create\_invoice\_attachment so the multipart part carries the right content type.
