Parameters

Response Payload

verplicht
state
string
verplicht

Upload progress. Pending accepts a transfer; finalizing is checking and publishing it. Completed has a saved result. Rejected, cancelled and expired allow no new upload instruction or publication. An already issued upload URL can remain usable until its expiry.

Possible values: pending, finalizing, completed, rejected, cancelled, expired

Frozen destination folder, or null for the library root.
