Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\phill\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\ipfsapi\http.py", line 166, in _do_raise_for_status
    response.raise_for_status()

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Running the linked file yeilds a 500 error from the files_write call.
Can annyone tell me whats causing this? Also how does one evne go about debugging a raw 500 error like that? I tried enabling debug level for several of the logging susbsytems, but none of them output any relevant info.

Figured it out forgot to append the filename to the folder path. You can’t write to ‘/’ or any other dir.
However the error message is also singularly unhelpful :C
