Create an Upload

POST /uploads

Uploading a file to Arta via API is a two step process.

The first step is to make an authenticated HTTP request to the POST /uploads endpoint described here. Successful requests to this endpoint will create an upload resource with a "pending" status as well as a presigned_url attribute.

The second step is to create a PUT HTTP request to the URL defined in the presigned_url field of the successful create response. This second request must include the raw data of the file as the request body and a content-type header. The content-type header must match the mime_type provided in your initial request. The size of the raw data must match the size param provided in your initial request.

For example, if you provided a mime_type of text/csv and a size of 13 bytes in the initial request to create the resource and if it successfully responded with a presigned_url value of https://cdn.arta.io/uploads/my-file.csv, your second request will look something like the following:

curl --location --request PUT 'https://cdn.arta.io/uploads/my-file.csv' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/csv' \
--data-raw 'hello,world,
'
