  # Step 1: Get presigned upload URL
  RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.dcycle.io/v1/vehicles/bulk/csv" \
    -H "x-api-key: ${DCYCLE_API_KEY}" \
    -H "x-organization-id: ${DCYCLE_ORG_ID}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"file_name": "fleet-vehicles-2025.csv"}')

  UPLOAD_URL=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.upload_url')

  # Step 2: Upload the CSV to the presigned URL
  curl -X PUT "$UPLOAD_URL" \
    -H "Content-Type: text/csv" \
    --data-binary @fleet-vehicles-2025.csv

  # Step 1: Get presigned upload URL
  response = requests.post(

  result = response.json()
  upload_url = result["upload_url"]
  print(f"File ID: {result['file_id']}")

  # Step 2: Upload the CSV
  with open("fleet-vehicles-2025.csv", "rb") as f:
      requests.put(upload_url, data=f, headers={"Content-Type": "text/csv"})

  print("Upload complete — processing will begin shortly")
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
  const axios = require('axios');

    { file_name: 'fleet-vehicles-2025.csv' },
    { headers },
  );

  console.log(`File ID: ${data.file_id}`);

  // Step 2: Upload the CSV
  const csvData = fs.readFileSync('fleet-vehicles-2025.csv');
  await axios.put(data.upload_url, csvData, {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/csv' },
  });

  console.log('Upload complete — processing will begin shortly');
