# Complete Direct Upload

`POST /api/v1/files/uploads/{upload_id}/complete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.netter.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.netter.ai/api/v1/files/uploads/{upload_id}/complete`
- Auth: none declared

Land a file the browser has sent to storage.

Verifies the staged object (it exists and fits the type's ceiling), then
persists it like ``POST /files/upload``. A file within the buffered ceiling
is read back and analyzed in the request, so the response is the same
(``state='pending'`` with ``sheets`` when the import wizard is needed, or
the dataset stubs being parsed). A larger CSV or Parquet file is committed
and parsed by the worker, which creates its datasets (``databases`` is
empty). Completing an upload that already landed returns that file.

## Path parameters

- `upload_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- DirectUploadCompleteRequest: Complete one direct upload; ``name`` and ``folder_path`` as declared.
  - `name` string, required
  - `folder_path` string, nullable
