Create an upload destination

Learn how to use the Uploads API to create an upload destination. Use the createUploadDestinationForResource operation to create a destination to upload a file. This operation returns a destination identifier and authorization information that you can use to upload a file. After you upload a file, you can programmatically access the file with the destination identifier.

Prerequisites

• Authorization from the selling partner for whom you are making calls. For more information, refer to Authorizing Selling Partner API applications.
