Upload a File via the API

To upload a file, use the /file-item/upload endpoint. The required parameters for this endpoint are:

• api-token - Your API token must be added to the request headers.
• itemIdContainer - The GUID of the item that will be the container of uploaded file.

JavaScript Code Example

The following JavaScript code example shows how use the REST API to upload a file using a HTML file input.

var formData = new FormData();
var fileInputElement = document.getElementById("fileInputElement");

// HTML file input
formData.append("fileFromHtmlInput", fileInputElement.files[0]);

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

request.open("POST", "https://[YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME].projectinsight.net/api/file-item/upload?itemIdContainer=[GUID]");
request.setRequestHeader("api-token", "[YOUR_API_TOKEN]");
request.onloadend = function ()
{
 var result = JSON.parse(request.response);
 //Handle the response here
};
request.send(formData);

C# Client Code Example

The following C# code example shows how use the REST API C# client to upload a file using the path to a local file.

using ProjectInsight.WebApi.Client;

ProjectInsightWebApiClient client = new ProjectInsightWebApiClient("https://[YOUR_WORKSPACE_NAME].projectinsight.net", "[YOUR_API_TOKEN]");
client.FileItem.Upload(itemIdContainer, pathToFile);

NOTE: Files that are uploaded to any item type other than a folder will be displayed under the "related items"
