Request Issue Failed with INVALID_ARGUMENT on Google Cloud Vision API

when executing, with a key that has worked in the past but that I haven't used for a few weeks, the following cURL

curl -v -k -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate?key=MyKey --data-binary @a.json

where a.json is 

{"requests": [{"image": {"content": "SUkqADwmAAD////8gYEoGct1VHdGU..."}, "features": [{"type": "TEXT_DETECTION", "maxResults": 1}]}]}

returns

Version 1 of the Google Cloud Vision API (beta) does not permit TIFF [1]. Here is a list of the currently supported formats:

  • JPEG
  • PNG8
  • PNG24
  • GIF
  • Animated GIF (first frame only)
  • BMP
  • WEBP
  • RAW
  • ICO

Turns out this is because I was sending base64 encoded tif images. Works fine for PNGs. Pretty sure I was told this in the docs.
