## Definitions

### `dev.knotless.uploadAvatar`

**Type**: `procedure`

Uploads the body, a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, as a blob of the account logged in to this appview's web pages, and names it as the picture of its dev.knotless.profile record, as `knotless profile --avatar` does: one that is not a PNG or JPEG, or is over 1,000,000 bytes, is drawn again as a JPEG that fits, at most 2000 pixels on its longest side. Requires the session cookie the pages' login sets: the appview writes with the session it keeps for that account.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `*/*`

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

#### Errors

- **InvalidRequest**: No picture, or one that is not a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF.
- **AuthenticationRequired**: No account is logged in to the pages, or its session has ended.
