Overview - Uploads APIs
Finished uploads (POST /upload, upload-from-url, or complete-multipart) return `id` and `filePath` — map to `media[].id` and `media[].path` on POST /public/posts.

Endpoints
How uploads chain into posts
Upload an asset first. The API returns data.id and data.filePath. Pass them as media: [{ id, path }] inside the POST /public/posts body — path is the post field and must be the upload filePath.
Hosted inbound body limit
POST /public/upload on RedPanda Cloud is capped at about 4.5 MB by the function gateway (HTTP 413). The application video cap is still 1 GB. For larger files use the multipart endpoints below, or call openquok upload / RedPanda.upload() — both switch automatically. Do not compress a TikTok or Reels clip to 3.5 MB just to squeeze through the simple upload.
Constraints
| Constraint | Value |
|---|---|
| Multipart field name | file |
| Allowed mime types | image/, video/, audio/*, application/pdf |
| Simple upload (hosted) | About 4 MB inbound (leave headroom under the 4.5 MB gateway) |
| Multipart part size | 5 MiB minimum except the last part |
| Per-file size cap | MAX_MEDIA_UPLOAD_BYTES (1 GB for video; shared with the session uploader) |
| Auth header | Authorization: Bearer opo_... (workspace programmatic token or third-party OAuth app token) |
