`WorkspaceID param.Opt[string] Optional` (header parameter) Optional header to select the Workspace for this request. The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`). Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace. ## Returns - `type BetaFileMetadata` - `Type File` Object type. For files, this is always `"file"`. - `ID string` Unique object identifier. The format and length of IDs may change over time. - `CreatedAt Time` RFC 3339 datetime string representing when the file was created. format: date-time - `Filename string` Original filename of the uploaded file. minLength: 1, maxLength: 500 - `MimeType string` MIME type of the file. minLength: 1, maxLength: 255 - `SizeBytes int64` Size of the file in bytes. minimum: 0 - `Downloadable bool Optional` Whether the file can be downloaded. default: false - `ExpiresAt Time Optional` RFC 3339 datetime string representing when the file will expire and become unavailable for download. Null if the file does not expire. For files uploaded with `expires_in_seconds`, this is the upload time plus that value. format: date-time - `Scope BetaFileScope Optional` The scope of this file, indicating the context in which it was created (e.g., a session). - `Type Session` The type of scope (e.g., `"session"`). - `ID string` The ID of the scoping resource (e.g., the session ID). ## Example ```go package main import ( "bytes" "context" "fmt" "io" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go" "github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/option" ) func main() { client := anthropic.NewClient( option.WithAPIKey("my-anthropic-api-key"), ) betaFileMetadata, err := client.Beta.Files.Upload(context.TODO(), anthropic.BetaFileUploadParams{ File: io.Reader(bytes.NewBuffer([]byte("Example data"))), }) if err != nil { panic(err.Error()) } fmt.Printf("%+v\n", betaFileMetadata.ID) } ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "id": "file_011CNha8iCJcU1wXNR6q4V8w", "created_at": "2025-04-15T18:37:24.100435Z", "filename": "document.pdf", "mime_type": "application/pdf", "size_bytes": 102400, "type": "file", "downloadable": false, "expires_at": "2025-05-15T18:37:24.100435Z", "scope": { "id": "id", "type": "session" } } ```
