THIS ENDPOINT IS UNDER DEPRECATION.
For new implementations, please use the Import API endpoint instead.
Datafiles are JSON files with entity, instrument or event data ready for bulk upload through this endpoint.
The /datafiles endpoint can upload and check the status of a file.
Only one file at a time can be updated, with each file being up to 1GB. Please add a waiting time of 2 seconds between upload requests.
We support JSON only.
