Content Upload (Images, Videos, Audio, PDFs, etc.)

[@raynellbell2428]

Thank you for this! I have another use case I could use a visual for. I am sending a file (attachment )to an external api and am having trouble figuring out how to do that as I am not saving the file in the database

Super Helpful. 🔥🙏

Can you please update the tutorial? It seems like a lot of things have changed on the platform since the video was recorded. In my case, I'm trying to send a PDF, through api, from an external source, but I'm not able to.

Hey Pedro. The principle is still the same. If you receiving a raw file from a return of an API call, you should use the Create a File Resource. If it is returning a URL, then you can use the Create Attachment Metadata function. If you'd like to send a PDF file over to another place, then I'd recommend learning about the External API Request function.

Is it possible uploading javascript files that can be executed using the link

[@nocodebackend]

The API won't be able to extract the file and execute code from the uploaded file.

There needs to be more details for different file types to upload. Not clear on how different file types are handled. Even just different image types.

[@nocodebackend]

Hi there! The process for handling different file types like audio attachments, file attachments, and videos follows the same flow. Simply utilize the specific field types and functions accordingly. For more detailed notes, you can refer to our documentation here: docs.xano.com/working-with-data/functions/content-upload. If you have any questions about your use case, feel free to ask us in our community forum here: community.xano.com/. We're here to help! 😊
