# Complete file uploads

`POST /api/v1/files/uploads/complete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.khotan.com`
- URL: `https://app.khotan.com/api/v1/files/uploads/complete`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `x-api-key`

Verifies each prepared upload (object presence and size) and promotes verified files to ready. Returns a per-file ready or failed result instead of failing the whole batch; failed entries carry an error message (e.g. an expired upload window). Completing an already-completed batch is idempotent.

## Request body

- object
  - `files` object[], required
    - `fileId` string, required

## Response `200`

Per-file completion results.

          - `name` string, required
          - `contentUrl` string, required: Stable authenticated API URL for opening the file content. It redirects to a short-lived inline storage URL when the file is ready.

          - `path` string, required: The file's full display path, including the file name. Paths change on rename/move; store ids.
          - `kind` 'archive' | 'audio' | 'document' | 'image' | 'other' | 'pdf' | 'spreadsheet' | 'video', required
