bearerAuthapiKey
Session token from POST /auth/login, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Headers
Date-based contract version, echoed back on the same header. Omit for the default (2026-07); send unstable for the in-development surface. An unrecognized value is rejected with 400 unsupported_api_version.
Path Parameters
Context slug or UUID.
Query Parameters
Subdirectory under the source tree
Body
multipart/form-data
The file to stage. One per request.
File bytes. Archives are expanded by the import runtime.
Response
Upload accepted; import enqueued (state: importing)
What every context-workflow trigger returns. The work is asynchronous: poll GET /tasks/{task_id}. The per-workflow booleans duplicate state and appear only where a workflow's contract names one.
The enqueued task. Poll it at GET /tasks/{id}.
The forward-looking status the trigger put the context into.
Duplicates state; present only for explore
Duplicates state; present only for profile
Duplicates state; present only for the import/curate triggers
