The Metadata API allows you to interact with the files of a given workspace. You can upload, get, delete, and bulk delete files.

​
Upload

Upload a file to a workspace.
  • workspace_id - required to determine which workspace the file should live.
  • content - the file that is being uploaded.
  • type - optionally enforce a file type: image, video, or audio. An attachment is the default selection.
Example Response Body: 
{
  "created_at": "2023-04-21T18:05:57.000000Z",
  "id": 16,
  "name": "Pizza.jpg",
  "size": 3724142,
  "type": "image",
  "mime": "image/jpeg",
  "path": "/vault/-TJh6gvN/GgwIFTsoTTIxlacoz01j1xwGY3w/U0y4tw../Pizza.jpg"
}

​
Upload a File then Add it as Content to a Table

Taking part of the response body from the previous example, we can add the file to a database table. 
// required metadata object from the previous example (created_at and id not needed):

{
  "name": "Pizza.jpg",
  "size": 3724142,
  "type": "image",
  "mime": "image/jpeg",
  "path": "/vault/-TJh6gvN/GgwIFTsoTTIxlacoz01j1xwGY3w/U0y4tw../Pizza.jpg"
}
We can take the metadata object and use it for creating content of an image field.
In this example, we take part of the object from the Upload File endpoint and use it to create content that includes an image field.
