API:Upload/de

POST request to upload a file.

There are three methods of uploading files via the API:


 * 1) Uploading a local file directly
 * 2) Uploading a copy of a file from a URL
 * 3) Uploading a local file in chunks

All of these methods require an account with the  right.

Beispiel
Making any POST request is a multi-step process:

 Log in, via one of the methods described in . GET a :

 Send a POST request, with the CSRF token to upload a file. 

Beispiel 1: Laden Sie eine lokale Datei direkt hoch
When uploading files directly, the request must use  as Content-Type or enctype,   will not work.

Beispiel 2: Datei von einer URL hochladen
This requires  in the wiki's local settings and an account with the   user right.

Beispiel 3: Datei in Chunks hochladen
Since uploading a huge file in a single HTTP POST can be unreliable, the API also supports a chunked upload mode, where you make multiple requests with portions of the file. This is available in MediaWiki version 1.20 and above, although prior to version 1.25, SVGs could not be uploaded via chunked uploading. This is used by in browsers supporting FileAPI, uploading files in chunks of 1 megabyte, but you may choose your own size. This works in conjunction with the stash mode, to build a file up in pieces and then commit it at the end.

Schritt 1: Übergeben Sie den Inhalt für den ersten Block


For all the chunks except the last chunk you will receive this:

Schritt 2: Übergeben Sie den Parameter $ 1 für den zweiten und weiteren Block
You will obtain the  parameter from the previous continue result as well:



For the last chunk, you will receive this:

Schritt 3: Endgültiger Upload mit filekey, um den Upload aus dem Stash-Bereich zu übernehmen


The result from the final upload will include the complete, accurate  object, comparable to what you would get from a non-chunked upload.

Additional notes

 * To check the status of an in-progress upload to the stash or the progress of a file being published from the stash, send a POST request:
