Create a file record and receive a signed URL to upload the file directly to cloud storage.

​
Upload flow

  1. Call POST /files with the filename and content type
  2. Upload the file to the returned upload_url using a PUT request
  3. The file status transitions from awaiting_upload to processing automatically
  4. Once processed, the file’s text content is extracted and indexed
# Step 1: Create the file record
curl -X POST https://api.bedrock.cv/files \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"project_id": "prj_01JABCD123", "filename": "specs.pdf", "content_type": "application/pdf"}'

# Step 2: Upload to the signed URL
curl -X PUT "https://storage.bedrock.cv/uploads/fil_01JABCD123?signature=..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/pdf" \
  --data-binary @specs.pdf
The signed upload URL expires after 15 minutes. If it expires, create a new file record.
