Foundation - Attachment Uploads API

Provides upload operations to upload files that are meant to be associated with an existing catalog item as attachments.

 

Overview

The process used to perform an attachment upload is very similar to that of the Foundation Upload API. Like the Foundation Upload API, the Attachment Upload provides various endpoints for initiating aatchment upload jobs, uploading client files to be used as attachments, retreiving status a running job, canceling a running job, and deleting an attachment upload job. The details of how to perform each of these operations is in their descriptions below. If you are trying to use this API for the first time please start with the "Initiate an attachment upload" section and following the instructions thereafter.
