HI, can I upload for an a user, an a specific file or more file, to specific position from an intranet via Cornerstone API? thanks
Hey @Fabrica,
Thanks for reaching out!
There isn’t any sort of uploading possible from the API. Unless you can pass a URL in request and the API on the other end downloads it. Do you have documentation on your API available?
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. The intent is to upload files from the local network and insert them into a web page visible only to a specific connected user. The files reside on a local server. It might be possible to activate cloud storage services for the aforementioned files, such as OneDrive API Google Drive ecc. The question is whether we can send a request with cornestone API and receive the file as a response.
Thanks
Hey @Fabrica,
You can definitely read files as a response. Unless the API allowed for the data to be sent as URLs and not files you are probably not going to be able to use Cornerstone here. You might have more luck using ACF forms or Gravity forms for uploading to another server, then reading those files from Cornerstone.
where do I insert the API key parameters and in my case CLIENT_ID in the Cornestone UI?
thanks
this is an example of a javascript call of the drive api to receive.

</html>Hello @Fabrica,
Thank you for the update.
We are not really sure what you’re trying to implement here, but if you’re asking where to place your API keys, this documentation might help: https://theme.co/docs/external-api-integration#security
Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support as this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your customization of it. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. You may wish to check out our One service where we help with 3rd party plugin and customization questions.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Ismael
