I’m trying to find out how to upload image files on Files under content using API or GraphQL.

I asked Claunde2 and it says;

To upload an image file to the Files section in Shopify using the REST Admin API, you would use the following endpoint:

POST /admin/api/2023-10/themes/<theme_id>/assets.json

But it didn’t work.

Please tell me endpoint or GraphQL to do.

Thanks.

Hey @heyuuuuu

You’ll want to use the FileCreate mutation to add files here.
