File Endpoints

Upload File

Upload and create a new file in Extend.

This endpoint accepts file contents and registers them as a File in Extend, which can be used for running workflows, creating evaluation sets, parsing, etc.

If an uploaded file is detected as a Word or PowerPoint document, it will be automatically converted to a PDF.

Supported file types can be found here.

This endpoint requires multipart form encoding. Most HTTP clients will handle this encoding automatically (see the examples).

Headers

Content-Type
string

A multi-part/form-data header containing the boundary, such as multi-part/form-data; boundary="...".

Body

A multipart/form-data body containing a single file field and its binary data. For more information, see the MDN documenation.

The Content-Type field header is currently ignored and Extend will infer the type automatically based on the field’s Content-Disposition and the file’s contents.

Response

success
boolean

A true or false value for whether the file was processed successfully or not.

file
File

A File object representing the newly created file. See the File object for more details. Note: Since the file is not parsed, it will not contain contents nor metadata.
