Uploading files

To understand how multiple file upload works, first read Send a job uploading a file.

What the API normally does when you upload a file is:

• Store the file
• Start processing the job with that file
• Stop accepting more file uploads

To upload multiple files to a job, create a job as in the first step of Send a job uploading a file, but this time add the process key.

By setting the process field to false, the API will not process the job, even if it receives a file upload.

This way, you can repeat the POST request with different file contents as explained in Send a job uploading a file.

At this point, all the files that you wanted to upload should be uploaded. Now, the API needs to know that the job can be processed.

This is done by sending a PATCH request to the job endpoint. Send the process key as false and specifying your job id in the url. Consider the following example.

After the request is sent, you will get a response similar to the following. Note the status processing.
