The documentation (https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.4/Web_APIs.html#http-methods) says:

Additionally, web APIs with the POST, PUT, or PATCH method can be used to upload a document to Appian and download a document from Appian a binary request body. The size of this document is limited to 75 MB.

Document is in singular. But, that could also be a ZIP file containing multiple files.

But the documents do not already exist on the appian server, I need to retrieve them from the from an outside source as images.

That works for outgoing calls (integrations) only.

You can construct your request body like this.

{
  userId: 2,
  documents: todocument({7585,7538})
}

Is there no way to pass in the user id in the body and the ability to send several pictures aswell?

Seems like you are talking about implementing a web API, correct?

AFAIK, a web API only accepts a single file. The user ID could be passed as a query parameter or a header.

a!localVariables(

  /*Check whether the request body contains a document*/
  local!success: not(isnull(http!request.body)),

  if(
    local!success,

    /*If a document was uploaded, return a successful response*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 200,
      headers: {},

      /*Print the document id, name, and extension of the uploaded document*/
      body: concat(
        "Upload Successful: ",
        document(http!request.body, "id"),
        " - ",
        document(http!request.body, "name"),
        ".",
        document(http!request.body, "extension")
      )
    ),

    /*If no document was uploaded, return an error code*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 400,
      headers: {},
      body: "400 Document Not Provided"
    )
  )
)

This doesn't tell us anything about how you have written the code. Do you mind attaching the code snippet so I can understand better why you cannot do things you said you cannot do?
