Working code

var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
var client = new RestClient("http://api.hubapi.com/files/v3/files?hapikey=key");

request.AddFile("file", file, "FileName.png", "application/octet-stream");

request.AddParameter("folderPath", "/path");
request.AddParameter("options", properties);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Hi @Abhimanyu 

I think the issue is that the overall request should use the content type of  multipart/form-data. Then the file itself should have applicaiton/octet-stream.

I send a message to someone from the hubspot team, maybe he can help you

[quentin_lamamy]

Why are you using the old api ?

[Abhimanyu]

I am using this api: http://api.hubapi.com/files/v3/files?hapikey=key
Main issue is file.

[quentin_lamamy]

Maybe the file header is wrong but if you found a way to do it it's a good new. C# is not my main programming lang, i use to learn at university but now i'm most of the time doing nodeJs and php

[Abhimanyu]

I am sending the file header 'application/octet-stream' as mention in the document  https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/files/v3/upload_new_file?_ga=2.255046920.1059212467.1604... 
And are you sending the path of the file or bytes?

[quentin_lamamy]

Thanks for the answer, i suggest you to use the new endpoint documented here and use this php working code

Hi @quentin_lamamy  @dennisedson 
this is working code but intead of file path "C:\\Users\\abhimanyu.kumar\\Downloads\\1.png" I wasnt to send bytes like
var file = new ByteArrayContent(File.ReadAllBytes("C:\\Users\\abhimanyu.kumar\\Downloads\\1.png"));
file.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");
And I am trying it and response I am getting is unspupported type

What is supported type for file?

Working Code:
var options1 = new { access = "PUBLIC_INDEXABLE" };

var properties1 = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(options1);
var request1 = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
var client = new RestClient("http://api.hubapi.com/files/v3/files?hapikey=demo");
request1.AddFile("file", "C:\\Users\\abhimanyu.kumar\\Downloads\\1.png");
request1.AddParameter("folderId", "381726034078");
request1.AddParameter("options", properties1);
IRestResponse response1 = client.Execute(request1);

@dennisedsonThanks for the ping

@AbhimanyuWhat is your actual code and what is the answer of the hubspot api ?

[Abhimanyu]

Hi @quentin_lamamy 
Here's my code

using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("POST"), "http://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/upload?hapikey=demo"))
{
var multipartContent = new MultipartFormDataContent();
var options = new
{
options = new { access = "PUBLIC_INDEXABLE" }

};
var properties = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(options);

var file1 = new ByteArrayContent(File.ReadAllBytes("C:\\Users\\abhimanyu.kumar\\Downloads\\1.png"));
file1.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
multipartContent.Add(file1, "+", Path.GetFileName("1.png"));
multipartContent.Add(new StringContent(properties));
multipartContent.Add(new StringContent("/Abhimanyu_Test"), "folderPath");
request.Content = multipartContent;

var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);

}

And Response is

Hey @Abhimanyu 

I know there is a wrapper that allows you to upload a file to an engagement.  Maybe looking at  that you can figure out how to compose this.

@quentin_lamamy , I know you usually work with the CRM, but have you tried uploading to the file manager?
