I am new to Alteryx server, I want to upload .csv file to alteryx workflow through API.  After uploading file run the workflow and download the output file. Is there is way to upload file through alteryx server API ? Which API should I use ? Thanks

I'll have a further think, but would it work if you have a text box interface tool and pass the data through into that?

Or is the data too large?

Thanks for response. Actually I have created the Analytic app but Alteryx server API is not supporting file browse questions [mentioned in documentation]. So is there is way to upload the file into alteryx server which will be the input for analytical app  and run the app ?

Hi @RishikeshTeke

I think you will want to create an analytic app, whereby one of the questions is a file browse.

Once you have made the app you can then use the API options of the server in order to interact with it programatically.
