Add file to Notes via REST API

Mark Deraeve

I'm trying to post a file via the REST API. I already create the note, I have the note ID and now I'm trying to upload a file to the note.

Documentation is not so clear to me.

When I cal the API like this:

Notes/0df989f0-7453-11ec-838a-065b9161e400/file/test.pdf how does the object need to be like? Is it a Note object? Where to add the file byte array?

    Just have a look on my little php script which creates an outer note and then adds an attachment.

    Thanks for the clear answer. It was hard to find from the documentation that I had to use the end point  "/Notes/"{id}"/file/filename". But now I have it. I transformed curl to c# and got it working finally, halelujah! After creating the note I use this method to add the attachment to the note:
