POST Object Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Use a POST object request to:

  • Initiate a resumable upload
  • Initiate a multipart upload
  • Complete a multipart upload
  • Upload an object using an HTML form

For simple uploads with the XML API, you make a PUT Object request instead of using POST Object.
