Upload Images to Notion Page Content-Block (Notion API, Python)

I'm working on a way to upload local images(JPEG) to a page in Notion via Notion-API with Python. I already converted the picture in base64 and now I want to add it in a block, inside a existing page. I know theres a way to upload images from a URL but first I want to try if this is possible.

I tried different URLs of the api to which i send my call, because I'm not completely sure how to set up this up properly. It's my first try to directly interact with an API, so this is a bit of a struggle for me.

This is the part of my Code in which I have problems with. I think it might be just a problem with the json formatting, the url, or I completely missed how to to do it properly.

        # Image as base64
        image_base64 = base64.b64encode(image_bytes).decode("utf-8")

        url1 = "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/input_page_id/children"
        url2 = "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages"

        headers = {
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {notion_api_key}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Notion-Version": "2022-06-28",
            "accept": "application/json"
        }

        data = {
            "parent": {
                "type": "page_id",
                "page_id": "input_page_id" },
            "children": {
                "type": "image",
                    "image": {
                        "type": "file",
                        "file_ids": [
                            {
                                "url": "data:image/jpeg;base64," + image_base64
                            }
                        ]
                    }
            }
}


        response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
        print(response.json())

The first URL "url1" is invalid and I tried a few variations of it, but as I understand it should be the right endpoint to update(in my case create) a block and a page in notion is also a block, so I just put in the page id here. The error message i get for "url2" is as follows:

{'object': 'error', 'status': 400, 'code': 'validation_error', 'message': 'body failed validation: body.parent.database_id should be defined, instead was `undefined`.'}

If uploading the images as base64 isn't possible anyway, i would try to use an Cloud Storage like AWS S3 or something which is designed for private use like Dropbox.

Sadly, the API does not support uploading images, only URLs to remote images.
