# Uploading Data Sources

In this guide, we will walk through the process of uploading data sources to your chatbot using the Chatsistant API.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

* An API key for accessing the Chatsistant API.
* A development environment or tool for making HTTP requests, such as Curl or a programming language like Python.

## API Endpoint

The API endpoint for uploading data sources to your chatbot is: `https://app.chatsistant.com/api/v1/chatbot/{uuid}/data-source/url`.

<Warning>Make sure to replace `{uuid}` with the UUID of your chatbot..</Warning>

## Request Body

To upload a data source, you need to send a POST request to the API endpoint with a JSON request body containing the URL of the data source. Here's an example request body:

```json theme={null}
{
  "url": "https://example.com/data-source"
}
```

* url (string, required): Provide the URL of the data source you want to upload.
