Request body fields

​
file
string
required
Raw file bytes. Every uploaded file must have a unique file name. Specifying file labels will find only files with both the specified name and label.
​
labels
string[]
Arbitrary string labels that describe the contents of this file. Labels are case-sensitive. Specifying labels or labels + name will return only files with both any of the specified labels and the specified name.
​
publicUrl
string
A public URL associated with the file, if any. Only used as metadata, to indicate the location of the source file. For example, if implementing a search engine against a website, specifying a URL for each uploaded file is a simple way to present the link to the file in the search results presented to the user.

​
Responses

​
Response 200

A unique identifier for the uploaded file. Use this later to request, modify, or delete the file. You don’t need to store the value though, as it is returned along with all file information in a GET /files request. Type: UUID. Example: da13301a-14e4-4487-aa2f-cc6048e73cdc // file-uuid
