Upload API

This article demonstrates how to use the uploadUrl response from the Generate File Upload Url endpoint to upload a file to a site's Media Manager.

Note: Due to limits on the size and duration of files that you can upload, we recommend using the importFile() function. See Wix Media: Supported Media File Types and File Sizes for more details.

Authorization

This endpoint uses the upload token included in the url for authorization. No additional authorization is needed.

Syntax

PUT {{generateFileUploadUrlResponse.uploadUrl}}

Headers Params

Name	Type	Optional	Description
Content-Type	string	no	File content type. For example, "image/jpeg" for a jpg file.

Query Params

Name	Type	Optional	Description
filename	string	no	File name that appears in the media manager. Include the file's extension in the name to prevent potential errors.

Note: In case of failure due to incorrect mimeType, include the file's extension in the filename parameter and set the Content-Type to 'application/octet-stream'. Doing this allows Wix servers to detect the correct content type of the file.

Request

async function uploadMyFile(uploadUrl, fileContent) {
  const params = {'filename':'my-audo-track.mp3'};
  const headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
  }      

  const uploadResponse = await httpClient.put( uploadUrl, fileContent, { headers, params } );
  return uploadResponse;
}
