Temporary upload link - uploading doesn't return file ID?

Temporary upload link - uploading doesn't return file ID?

Hi there,

 

When uploading a file to a temporary upload URL, the file ID is not returned. I suggest adding this feature to the API, I think it'll be good in some, if not all, use cases of the temporary upload URL. I know I tell the API which file path I want to upload to, but with this I have to: store the file path on my end, when it would be cleaner to just store the file ID and now I have to store both; and it'll save an additional API request to get the file ID.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the post! I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented.

Need more support?
