Upload Document

Upload a document to a collection. Currently we support a maximum file size of 10 MB and the following content types

  • PDF (.pdf)
  • Plaintext (.txt)
  • CSV (.csv)
  • Markdown (.md)
  • Microsoft Words (.docx)

Documents have to be uniquely named. If one document is uploaded with a name that is the same as one already uploaded, it will replace that document.
