File uploads

To attach a file to a row via the API, first upload it, then write the response to the file field. You can upload the file itself or a link to it.

In a Latenode scenario it's simpler: the Upload File node does both steps at once. See Nodes in scenarios.

Upload a file

The request expects a multipart part named file with the file content.

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Token YOUR_DATABASE_TOKEN" \
-F [email protected] \
"https://table.latenode.com/api/user-files/upload-file/"

Upload a file by URL

The service downloads the file from the URL in the request body.

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Token YOUR_DATABASE_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://table.latenode.com/api/user-files/upload-via-url/" \
--data '{
  "url": "https://example.com/photo.png"
}'

What the response contains

Both requests return a file object. It contains:

• url: file URL;
• thumbnails: tiny and small previews, each with its own url, width, and height;
• name: file name in storage;
• size: size in bytes;
• mime_type: content type;
• is_image: whether it's an image;
• image_width and image_height: dimensions, if it's an image;
• uploaded_at: upload time.

You can pass this object, or at least its name, to a file field when you create or update a row. The field accepts an array of such objects, a comma-separated list of names, or an array of names.
