Individual Files

These steps outline how to upload a single, independent file (such as a content file or plugin script).

1. The client makes a POST call to the /Sessions/None/Uploads/ endpoint with the following Content-Type value: application/vnd.bsn.start.content.upload.arguments.201701+json. The POST request body includes information about the file.
   1. The response body includes an upload token for the file.
2. The client uploads the file to the server by calling POST on the /Sessions/None/Uploads/{UploadToken}/chunks/ endpoint. If the file is larger than approximately 256KB, the client will need to make multiple POST calls and use the ?offset URL parameter to segment the file into chunks.
3. The client completes the upload by calling PUT on the/Sessions/None/Uploads/{UploadToken}/ endpoint with the following Content-Type value: application/vnd.bsn.complete.content.upload.arguments.201701+json.

GET  /

Retrieves currently active webpage-upload sessions.

Parameters

marker string

A value specifying which page to retrieve. This value is useful if the isTruncated entry in the response body of the previous GET call indicates that the number of WebpageUploadStatus instances exceeds the pageSize.

filter string

An expression for filtering search results.

pageSize int

The maximum number of WebpageUploadStatus instances that can be contained in the response body
