The attached document is intended to provide the reader with a practical understanding of how to use the Uploader Service API.  Individuals familiar with API integrations may be able to read this document and gain enough of an understanding that they don’t need to execute every step of this tutorial.  For users who want a more hands on tutorial the document presents step by step instructions using the Postman application, and in parallel the curl command line application which may API developers are familiar with and is available for most platforms. 

The tutorial assumes use of API Keys for authentication as this is best practice.  While basic authentication is possible, and a Postman config exemplifying it is provided, it is not recommended.

The tutorial covers the following:

• Process a single file upload into a table checked out in the Uploader Service’s workspace.
• Execution of a multi-part upload of a file greater than 5 megabytes in size checked out in the Uploader Service’s workspace.
• Uploading multiple tables and checking all in as part of a single check-in operation.
