UploadDocument1

# UploadDocument1 API

Uploads a new document or creates a new version of an existing document at the specified path using a raw byte array, with an optional version comment. This is identical to UploadDocument with the addition of a versionComment parameter that is recorded in the document's version history.

Methods

  • GET /srv.asmx/UploadDocument1?authenticationTicket=...&path=...&fileContent=...&versionComment=...

  • SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/UploadDocument1

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
authenticationTicket string Yes Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser.
path string Yes Full infoRouter destination path including file name (e.g. /Finance/Reports/Q1-Report.pdf). If a document exists at this path a new version is created.
fileContent byte[] Yes The raw binary content of the file to upload, encoded as a Base64 string when sent over HTTP.
versionComment string No A comment describing the changes in this version (e.g. "Updated figures for Q1"). Recorded in the version history.

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:UploadDocument1>
      <tns:authenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:authenticationTicket>
      <tns:path>/Finance/Reports/Q1-2024-Report.pdf</tns:path>
      <tns:fileContent>JVBERi0xLjQ...</tns:fileContent>
      <tns:versionComment>Updated figures for Q1</tns:versionComment>
    </tns:UploadDocument1>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

  • versionComment is optional. Omitting it or passing null creates a version with no comment.
  • For large files, use the chunked upload approach: CreateUploadHandler → UploadFileChunk → UploadDocumentWithHandler1.
  • Use UploadDocument2 if you need post-upload checkout instead of a version comment.
  • Use UploadDocument3 if you need both a version comment and post-upload checkout.
