# POST /filedrop/udl-sigact-text

`POST /filedrop/udl-sigact-text`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://unifieddatalibrary.com`
- URL: `https://unifieddatalibrary.com/filedrop/udl-sigact-text`
- Auth: none declared

Upload a text file with its metadata. This operation bypasses the length constraints of the `eventDescription` field.

The request body requires a zip file containing exactly two files:\
1\) A file with the `.json` file extension whose content conforms to the `SigAct_Ingest` schema.\
2\) A UTF-8 encoded file with the `.txt` file extension.

The JSON and text files will be associated with each other via the `id` field. Query the metadata via `GET /udl/sigact` and use `GET /udl/sigact/getFile/{id}` to retrieve the text file.

This operation only accepts application/zip media. The application/json request body is documented to provide a convenient reference to the ingest schema.

This operation is intended to be used for automated feeds into UDL. A specific role is required to perform this service operation. Please contact the UDL team for assistance.
