Upload asset file

A file is required to be uploaded to the asset resource endpoint before an asset can be created. A content type of multipart/form-data is used to perform the upload. A file id is returned for a successful upload which then can be used as a file reference in a AssetFile field when creating an asset. Multiple files can be uploaded in a single request with the resulting file ids returning in the same order as they are uploaded. It is not possible to have a single upload request larger than 2GB, though depending on your connection speed to the CMS, your upload may time out before reaching that limit.
