Usage Example
Upload a file and get a URL
1. Add an HTTP Request or Read Binary File node to get a file
2. Connect it to the FilePost node
3. Set operation to Upload File
4. Set the binary property name (default: data)
5. Optionally set an expiry such as 24h or expose the filename in the URL
6. Run — you get back a JSON response with url, fileid, size, contenttype, and expires_at
Upload base64 content
Use Upload Base64 when an AI, webhook, or database node returns a base64 string or data URL. Map the string, set the filename and content type, and FilePost returns the same public URL response without an intermediate conversion node.

"file_id": "abc123",
