Hey Theo, you can use the records upsert API to upload attachments:

https://developer.quickbase.com/operation/upsert

This page about file types shows that the attachment file data needs to be Base64 encoded:

Example file attachment value:

{
  "value": {
    "fileName": "report.pdf",
    "data": "aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQyUyQiUyQg=="
  }
}


Hope that helps!
