Hello Everyone,

Rest API - File Creation from Code Level

RestClient client1 = new RestClient("http://localhost/23R2/entity/Default/23.200.001/");
RestRequest updateRequest = new RestRequest("StockItem/" + stock.InventoryID + "/files/" + stock.FileName, Method.Put);
updateRequest.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + authToken);
string filePath = @stock.Path;
//string filePath = @"D:\Test Key.txt";
byte[] fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
updateRequest.AddParameter("image/png", fileData, ParameterType.RequestBody);
RestResponse updateResponse = await client1.ExecuteAsync(updateRequest);
if (updateResponse.IsSuccessful)
{
//logic here
}

The body of the request will be the binary representation of the file. Then you PUT the request to the entity that you want to attach the file to.
I don’t have code to share, unfortunately. But from what I can see, there’s nothing specific to Acumatica’s framework that you need in this case.
Are you having trouble with how to turn the file into a binary representation? If so, I think you can just do something like this:
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(@"Path to your local file");Or are you looking for the code to write the put request?
