Table API - upload files

[jef.vanhoutven]

Is there a possibility to save a file in a Tulip table with the table api?

We would like to create new records in the table with the same result as if we did it manually. But our table contains a file column. An acceptable solution would be to create a record. And in a next call update the file field for this record.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Jef -

What type of file is included in your table? Is it by chance image files?

The Table API does not currently support direct file upload. However you have some options here:

• How to write image to tables through API - this thread discusses encoding image files in Base64 and storing them in text fields as a workaround.
• Posting files to tables from outside Tulip - this thread discusses uploading files to external services and storing the URL in Tulip.
