Examples

In the following example, we'll generate a pre-signed upload URL, then use it to upload media, and finally send a message with it:

  1. Generate URL

curl -X POST "https://api.bird.com/workspaces/a1405560-c8d3-4b1a-877d-3f449ad95352/conversations/02ec2ac2-ebec-42d3-a5f4-e6f3a9edf418/presigned-upload" \
-H "Authorization: AccessKey abcd"

  1. Upload media to pre-signed URL

All of the fields in uploadFormData from the previous response need to be passed as form data string fields. Additionally, the field file must contain the media file you'd like to upload.

The response status is 204 (No Content).
