How to post an image through the Danbooru API ?

Hello I've read the docs and wiki about the API but I can't manage to post an image through the API (so with a script). I managed to upload a file with this command : 

curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" \
      -F "upload[files][0]=@my_image.jpg" \
      "https://danbooru.donmai.us/uploads.json"

which gives lots of IDs and upload IDs like this :

{
  "id": 57718425,
  "status": "completed",
  "upload_media_assets": [
    {
      "id": 83287945,
      "upload_id": 57718425,
      "media_asset_id": 48678642,
      "status": "active",
      "source_url": "file://my_image.jpg",
      "media_asset": {
        "id": 48678642,
    }
  ]
}

The docs (api:posts) then says to post an image you need to do this : 

 curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" -X POST "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json" -d "post[upload_media_asset_id]=83287945" -d "post[tag_string]=tagme 1girl standing" -d "post[rating]=g"

But this gives me :

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound",
  "message": "That record was not found.",
  "backtrace": [
    "app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:62:in 'PostsController#create'",
    "app/logical/rack_server_timing.rb:19:in 'RackServerTiming#call'"
  ]
}

So I guess my ID is wrong. I've then also tried :

 curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" -X POST "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json" -d "post[upload_media_asset_id]=57706306" -d "post[rating]=g"
 curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" -X POST "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json" -d "post[upload_media_asset_id]=48678642" -d "post[rating]=g"
 curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" -X POST "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json" -d "post[upload_id]=57718425" -d "post[rating]=g"
 curl -s -u "$USERNAME:$API_KEY" -X POST "https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts.json" -d "post[media_asset_id]=48678642" -d "post[rating]=g"

But I keep receiving the same error "That record was not found.".

Does anybody know how to post correctly ? What ID should I use ?

Thank you.
