Webapps
To add a new embedded content (webapp) file, you need to execute a POST request against the /libraries/:id/webapps endpoint. This is useful for embedding external websites like Youtube, Miro, Google Docs, etc...
Three fields are available in the JSON body of the POST request:
url - the url of the external site to embed
name - the name of the file. Required.
parent_id - the id of the parent folder. Omit this field if the webapp file is attached to the root of the library and not to a parent folder.
In the response you will find the unique id which identifies the file.
Request (file created in the root of the library)
