🔼 Upload Data

This section covers the steps to upload data to Lighthouse. Four types of uploads are supported: file, text/JSON, buffer, and CAR files.

1. Upload File
2. Upload Text/JSON
3. Upload Buffer
4. Upload CAR File

New in v0.4.4

All upload methods now support a flexible options object pattern with storage type headers. The storageType option accepts "annual" or "lifetime" values and is passed as an X-Storage-Type header to the backend. See individual method docs for details.
