UploadFile class

You can define path operation function parameters to be of the type UploadFile to receive files from the request.

You can import it directly from fastapi:

from fastapi import UploadFile

fastapi.UploadFile

UploadFile(file, *, size=None, filename=None, headers=None)

Bases: UploadFile

A file uploaded in a request.

Define it as a path operation function (or dependency) parameter.

If you are using a regular def function, you can use the upload_file.file attribute to access the raw standard Python file (blocking, not async), useful and needed for non-async code.

Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Request Files.

Example

from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/files/")
async def create_file(file: Annotated[bytes, File()]):
    return {"file_size": len(file)}


@app.post("/uploadfile/")
async def create_upload_file(file: UploadFile):
    return {"filename": file.filename}
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION

file instance-attribute

file

The standard Python file object (non-async).

filename instance-attribute

filename

The original file name.

size instance-attribute

size

The size of the file in bytes.

headers instance-attribute

headers

The headers of the request.

content_type instance-attribute

content_type

The content type of the request, from the headers.

read async

read(size=-1)

Read some bytes from the file.

To be awaitable, compatible with async, this is run in threadpool.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
size

The number of bytes to read from the file.

TYPE: int DEFAULT: -1

write async

write(data)

Write some bytes to the file.

You normally wouldn't use this from a file you read in a request.

To be awaitable, compatible with async, this is run in threadpool.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
data

The bytes to write to the file.

seek async

seek(offset)

Move to a position in the file.

Any next read or write will be done from that position.

To be awaitable, compatible with async, this is run in threadpool.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
offset
