Information noteSTABLE.

This API is reliable and breaking changes are unlikely.

Description

Update the file extensions in an allowlist. Only files with extensions included in an allowlist are permitted to be uploaded to a static content library.

To update a file extension allowlist:

  1. Call the qrs/fileextensionwhitelist API endpoint to retrieve the list of file extensions in the allowlist: GET qrs/fileextensionwhitelist/{id} where {id} is the ID of the allowlist that you want to add the file extension entity to.
  2. Copy the entire response body and paste it into a text editor.
  3. Call the qrs/fileextension API endpoint to retrieve the complete list of available file extensions: GET qrs/fileextension
  4. Copy the file extension entity from the response body that you want to add to the allowlist, for example:

    { "id": "c9beee8d-1368-4427-91f9-fc22659a8bab", "name": "jpgv", "privileges": null },

  5. Paste the file extension entity into the text editor within the fileExtensions property.
  6. Copy and paste the entire contents from the text editor into the request body of the PUT qrs/fileextensionwhitelist/{id} call.
  7. Information noteYou must always include the entity ID and modifiedDate when performing an update. The entity ID of the body and of the URL must match. See Updating an entity and handling PUT request conflict responses.
