drafts.uploadAttachment

Add one file to the Draft as the raw request body, for media too large to send inline: an MP4 video or a PDF, each up to 50 MiB.

Prerequisites

  • A Curviate API key, passed as apiKey when you construct the client. Quickstart shows how to create one.

Signature

uploadAttachment(id: string, data: Blob | ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array, options: DraftUploadOptions): Promise<DraftUploadResult>

Example

import { Curviate } from "@curviate/sdk";
 
const curviate = new Curviate({
  apiKey: "cvt_live_...",
  baseUrl: "https://api.curviate.com",
});
 
const bytes = await readFile("clip.mp4");
const draft = await curviate.drafts.uploadAttachment(id, bytes, {
  filename: "clip.mp4",
  contentType: "video/mp4",
});

Parameters

Error codes

CodeWhat it means, and what to do
UNAUTHORIZEDThe API key is missing, malformed, or revoked. Check the key you passed to the client.
INVALID_REQUESTA parameter failed validation. The message names the offending field; fix the request rather than retrying it.
RATE_LIMIT_ACCOUNTThis account's own quota is exhausted. Wait for the window in the Retry-After header, then retry.
RATE_LIMIT_TENANTThe tenant-wide quota is exhausted across all accounts. Slow the whole workload, not just this call.
PLATFORM_RATE_LIMITLinkedIn is throttling this account. Back off well beyond the hinted delay; sustained pressure risks the account.
PLATFORM_ERRORAn upstream failure, usually transient: retry once with backoff before treating it as a real error. Check the response first, though. When it carries retry_likely_to_succeed: false and retry_hint: {kind: "never"}, retrying cannot help and backing off only delays the real answer.
DRAFT_PUBLISHINGA publish of this Draft is in flight, or its outcome is still being settled. Read the Draft again in a few seconds; if the message says to check the account's posts first, do that before retrying.
MEDIA_QUOTA_EXCEEDEDThe file would take the bucket past its media quota and nothing was stored. Delete media from other Drafts first.
NO_ACTIVE_SEATThe targeted account is not on an active seat. Buy or attach a seat in Billing, then retry.
PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGEA file is over its limit: 5 MiB per image or per file sent inline, 50 MiB for a video or PDF sent with uploadAttachment. Send a smaller file, or move a large one to uploadAttachment.
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUNDThe id in the path does not exist, or is not visible to this account. Re-read it from the list endpoint that produced it.
UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPEThe Content-Type is not one of the accepted file types (an image type, video/mp4 or application/pdf). Pass the file's own type as contentType; JSON and multipart bodies are refused here.

Every code above is a stable CurviateError.code you can branch on. The full list, the response envelope, and retry semantics are in the Error codes reference.
