Add files to an existing data job.
POST
Add files to data job
Attach one or more uploaded file IDs to a data job. For non-Markdown files (PDF, DOCX, PPT), ingestion starts automatically — no separate ingestion call is needed. Markdown files bypass ingestion and are alignment-ready immediately.
The job status moves to
file_processing while ingestion runs, then transitions to needs_review or ready_to_start once complete.
For status states and per-file tracking, see Monitor ingestion.Authorizations
