Test PoI Submission API Implementation

[fatiudeen]

Description

This issue is created to test the functionality of the Proof of Impact (PoI) submission API implemented in a previous issue. The goal is to validate that users can successfully submit before-and-after cleanup photos, with proper file validation, metadata extraction, and database storage.

Tasks

✅ Test PoI Submission Endpoint

• Send a POST /api/poi/submit request with valid image files.
• Ensure the API correctly handles multipart file uploads.

✅ File Validation

• Confirm only JPEG, JPG, HEIC formats are accepted.
• Ensure images exceeding 10 MB are rejected.
• Verify that exactly two images (before & after) are required per submission.

✅ Metadata Extraction & Storage

• Check that geotags (latitude, longitude) and timestamps are correctly extracted.
• Confirm metadata is stored without being used for validation.
• Verify that location data is saved for potential impact tracking.

✅ Database Storage

• Ensure the following details are correctly stored:
  • User ID (wallet address).
  • Before & After image IPFS/Filecoin CIDs.
  • Extracted metadata (timestamps, geotags).
  • Submission status: "pending" | "verified" | "rejected".

✅ Response & Error Handling

• Verify a success response with a submission ID if all conditions are met.
• Confirm proper error messages are returned when:
  • File format is invalid.
  • Image size exceeds 10 MB.
  • Only one image is uploaded.

Expected Outcome

The API should properly validate and process PoI submissions, store relevant data, and handle errors gracefully.
