But I got this response. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Hey @HendryRaudsepp - just wanted to confirm if the app access has been updated to include the correct access scope - write_files - per our official API doc here? An app would need this scope access to successfully complete the mutation.

If you have updated your app include this and it's still not working as expected, please share an x-request-id header returned from a request where this occurs. I would be happy to take a closer look and pass on any insights - Cheers!

Hello, thanks for your answer. Now I can upload files using api. BTW - can you let me know how to get file ID ? When I try to update or delete file, api needs file ID. I have searched online for a long time, but I couldn't find a way. Would be great if I can learn that. Cheers. Hendry

Add these lines to your fileCreate query to the files { } section:

 

...on MediaImage {
    id
}
...on GenericFile {
    id
}
