This is step 1 of 3 in the async run pattern. After uploading, use the returned row_id to start a run, then poll for results.For a single blocking call that handles everything, see synchronous extraction.

​
What this does

Creates a row in the extraction table linked to the uploaded file, but does not start processing. The returned row_id is required for all subsequent operations on this file.

​
Example

cURL
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.cloudsquid.io/api/projects/my-project/tables/TABLE_ID/files" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file": "'$(base64 -i invoice.pdf)'",
    "filename": "invoice.pdf",
    "mimetype": "application/pdf",
    "file_type": "binary"
  }'
Response: 
{ "row_id": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6" }
Pass this row_id to POST /run to start extraction.
