UploadDocument4 API

Uploads a new document or creates a new version of an existing document at the specified path using a raw byte array, with extended options supplied through an XML parameters string. This is the most flexible direct-upload variant and supports all upload options including version comment, checkout, publish option, keywords, text-only content, custom dates, and more.

Example

POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/UploadDocument4 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----FormBoundary

------FormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="authenticationTicket"

------FormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="path"

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

[binary file content]
------FormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="xmlParameters"

<parameters><parameter key="VERSIONCOMMENT">Revised Q1 figures</parameter><parameter key="KEYWORDS">finance quarterly 2024</parameter><parameter key="PUBLISHOPTION">Publish</parameter></parameters>
------FormBoundary--

Notes

Passing an empty string "" for xmlParameters uses server defaults for all options.
PUBLISHOPTION values: ServerDefault (use the domain's publishing setting), Publish (publish immediately), DoNotPublish (do not publish).
Manual version numbers (MPVERSIONMAJOR, MPVERSIONMINOR, MPVERSIONREVISION) set the human-readable version label (e.g. 2.0.1) independently of the internal version ID.
For large files, use the chunked handler approach with UploadDocumentWithHandler3 which accepts the same XML parameters format.

UploadDocument - Basic upload
UploadDocument3 - Upload with version comment and checkout (no XML)
UploadDocumentWithHandler3 - Chunked upload with XML parameters
CreateUploadHandler - Create a handler for chunked large file uploads

Error Codes

Error	Description
`[900] Authentication failed`	Invalid or missing authentication ticket.
`[901] Session expired or Invalid ticket`	The ticket has expired or does not exist.
Folder not found	The destination folder in the path does not exist.
Invalid parameter value	An XML parameter key has an invalid value (e.g. bad enum or non-boolean for `CHECKOUT`).
