createSpaceTextFile

Save text as a new file (a report, notes, a JSON or CSV export, a memo) in a folder you can edit. The NAME decides the type (.md, .json, .csv, .txt, .html, .ts …); binary types are refused (they are uploaded in the app). Up to 5 MB. The file is yours, labelled as made by AI for you when an agent writes it. An .html file saved here is an ordinary file, never a Page (Pages are made only by Ask Goliath's page tools). Pass creationKey to make a retry safe. Default to the person's My files unless they named a folder.

Variables

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.

inputCreateSpaceTextFileInput!required

spaceIdID!required

folderIdID

nameString!required

contentString!required

descriptionString

creationKeyString

Response

What comes back under data: a list shows as one entry, and a value as its type.

Errors

400unknown_variable

A variable the operation does not declare. A typo is refused rather than silently dropped.

401unauthorized

No bearer header, or the key is invalid or revoked.

403insufficient_scope

The key lacks the scope the operation requires.

403forbidden

A referenced record does not exist, was deleted, or is outside your organization. The gateway cannot tell those apart.

409idempotency_conflict

A request with this Idempotency-Key is still in flight.

Idempotency

Send an Idempotency-Key of 1 to 255 characters. A finished request retried with the same key replays its stored response, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true; one still in flight returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Keys expire after 24 hours. Write without fear →
