Create an upload session and get a pre-signed upload URL. Upload the file bytes to the uploadLocation, then call the complete endpoint to finalize the file and receive a public URL.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.glideapps.com/apps/$APP_ID/uploads \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $GLIDE_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "contentType": "image/png",
    "fileName": "logo.png"
  }'
Response: 
{
  "data": {
    "uploadID": "upload-123",
    "uploadLocation": "https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-uploads/example?X-Goog-Algorithm=GOOG4-RSA-SHA256"
  }
}
Then upload the file bytes to uploadLocation: 
curl --request PUT \
  --url "$UPLOAD_LOCATION" \
  --header "Content-Type: image/png" \
  --upload-file ./logo.png
Finally, complete the upload: 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.glideapps.com/apps/$APP_ID/uploads/$UPLOAD_ID/complete \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $GLIDE_API_KEY"
