}What happens after the upload?
What happens after the upload?
Indexing starts on its own after the upload: an
active source indexes and bills immediately, a draft source runs a credit estimate instead (see Retrieve estimate). Poll List files until each file’s status is indexed.Files the upload policy refuses (unsupported type, too large, empty) are returned in rejected with a 201; the request is a 400 no_files_accepted only when every file was refused.Authorizations
Path Parameters
The source id.
Body
multipart/form-data
One part per file. The part's filename becomes the file's name in the source.
Maximum array length:
25Response
At least one file was stored.
