I am uploading a pdf file through POST gallery/api/user/v2/inputfiles/ endpoint and getting the the below error:

{"data":null,"exceptionName":"BadRequestException","innerExceptionMessage":"","message":"Requested file format is not supported."}

While I am able to upload other file type like .xlsx, .csv and .txt

Hi @BK02 PDF files are not a standard Input typically unless you are using the Intelligence Suite tools. Are you trying to use a PDF file with a Input Data tool or a Dynamic Input?

I consume gallery/api/user/v2/inputfiles/ API endpoint using .Net C# to upload the file.
Please let me know if it is possible to upload a pdf via gallery/api/user/v2/inputfiles/ API endpoint using .Net C#

Hi @BK02 the endpoint you are talking about uses a filebrowse Interface tool and a PDF file is not standed file it can accept. Alteryx is expecting data in a tabular format hence why the PDF is not accepted.

Hi BK02,

I am trying to consume gallery/api/user/v2/inputfiles/ API endpoint using .Net C# to upload the csv file as input to analytic App.

Can you please give me more reference for how to achieve it.
