# Upload file

### Introduction

You can use this endpoint to upload your local file and then use the `fileKey` you obtained to create a data source through the [Create data source](/api-reference/create-data-source) endpoint.

Only files with the following extensions are supported: **.csv**, **.tsv**, **.md**, **.mdx**, **.json**, **.txt**, **.pdf**, **.pptx**, **.ppt**, **.doc**, **.docx**, **.xls**, or **.xlsx**.

**Example request:**

<CodeGroup>
  ```curl cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'http://ai.data.cloud/api/v1/file/upload_datasource' \
  --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  --header 'x-pd-api-key: <api-key>' \
  --header 'x-pd-api-agent-id: GENERAL' \
  --form 'file=@"/Users/test/workspace/66C4547D0000650003AB1.xlsx"'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "http://ai.data.cloud/api/v1/file/upload_datasource"

  payload = {}
  files=[

  headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
    'x-pd-api-key': '<api-key>',
    'x-pd-api-agent-id': 'GENERAL'
  }

  response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

  print(response.text)
  ```
