downloadable

Description

Downloadables are items configured directly in Foxy for users to purchase and download. When creating a downloadable, you'll also send the file directly. Additionally, the downloadable must have a item_category_uri of an item_category which is configured for downloaded item delivery.

To create a downloadable, you need to POST a file with the value being the downloadble file you want to create. Here is an example using curl: 

curl -H "FOXY-API-VERSION: 1" -H "Authorization: Bearer 61a7197472c9f9e4481f2d2f6a7d0352" -F "code=unicorn" -i -F "name=Unicorn" -F "file=@/Users/lukestokes/Pictures/temp/unicorn_web.png" -F "price=10" -F "item_category_uri=https://api-sandbox.foxycart.com/item_categories/307" https://api-sandbox.foxycart.com/stores/8/downloadables

You can also update an existing downloadable file using the file property, but you may also need to include the X-HTTP-Method-Override: PATCH header since our server expects a PATCH or a PUT when updating an existing resource. Here's an example using curl: 

curl -H "X-HTTP-Method-Override: PATCH" -H "FOXY-API-VERSION: 1" -H "Authorization: Bearer 61a7197472c9f9e4481f2d2f6a7d0352" -F "file=@/Users/lukestokes/Pictures/temp/1209_mcmillan_630x420.jpg" https://api-sandbox.foxycart.com/downloadables/40
