How to use the Nexar File Service

The Nexar file service allows you to upload your files so that you can then access them within requests to the API via an ID. Files are uploaded via a post request to the file service's endpoint: https://files.nexar.com/File/Upload with multipart/form-data. 

An authorized Nexar token will also need to be passed in. This token should have the following scopes: "design.domain", "user.access" and "openid". If you are generating a token in the portal these will be applied. If fetching a token programmatically, you will need to specify these.

The returned ID will be valid for 24 hours if left unused and then you will have to upload the file again to access it through the API.

Example

Below is a python example that uploads a file "input.csv"

import requests

token = "Your Nexar token here"

response = requests.post("https://files.nexar.com/File/Upload", files={"file": "input.csv"}, headers={
    "token": token
})

fileId = response.text
print(fileId)
