Deployed Environments

Upload File

Available for: Workflow, Chatflow

Uploads a file for use in requests to this app in this environment.

The returned id works only for requests that carry the same user, to the same app and environment. A single run can reference at most 100 files.

Standard API equivalent: Upload File. Differences:

user is required.
The response’s source_url is a signed download URL.
The combined size of all parts arriving before the user field is capped at 100 MiB.
Error codes differ.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Every request authenticates with an API key: Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}. App endpoints take an app API key; knowledge endpoints take a knowledge base API key (Get Started).

Keep keys server-side; never embed them in client code. Requests with a missing or invalid key fail with HTTP 401 (unauthorized).

Body

multipart/form-data

File upload request. Requires multipart/form-data.

file

required

The file to upload, as one multipart/form-data part. The filename must not contain / or \.

Any extension is accepted unless it is on the deployment's security blacklist (UPLOAD_FILE_EXTENSION_BLACKLIST, empty by default).

Default size limits per category: images 5 MB (10 MB on Docker Compose deployments), audio 50 MB, video 100 MB, other files 15 MB. Your platform administrator can change them with the UPLOAD_*_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT environment variables.

user

string

required

End-user identifier, defined by your app and unique within it. The file belongs to this user in this app and environment. Send this part before the file part when possible; the combined size of parts arriving before it is capped at 100 MiB. See End User Identity.

Maximum string length: 512
