Steps

  1. For direct uploads, POST file data to the Upload API (or use Uploadcare's widget/SDK) to receive a file UUID once the upload completes
  2. For remote ingestion, POST the source URL to the `/from_url/` Upload API endpoint, which returns a `token` for tracking the async fetch rather than the file UUID itself
  3. Poll the `/from_url/status/` endpoint with that token until the fetch completes, at which point the response includes the actual file UUID to use going forward
  4. Pass `save_URL_duplicates`/`check_URL_duplicates` parameters on `/from_url/` calls if you want Uploadcare to deduplicate repeated fetches of the same source URL instead of creating a new file each time
  5. Use the REST API (base `https://api.uploadcare.com/`, all paths ending in `/`) to manage the resulting files afterward — read metadata, organize into groups, or delete files as needed
