# Files

> Call /files with the Python SDK.

**Methods**: `client.upload_file()`, `client.list_files()`, `client.get_file()`, `client.get_file_content()`.

```python theme={null}
uploaded = client.upload_file(
    purpose="batch",
    file="data:application/json;base64,eyJ0ZXN0Ijp0cnVlfQ==",
)
file_obj = client.get_file(uploaded["id"])
file_bytes = client.get_file_content(uploaded["id"])

print(uploaded)
print(file_obj)
print(file_bytes[:20])
```

<Note>
  `list_files()` is wired through the SDK, but `GET /files` currently returns `file_list_not_supported_with_shared_gateway_key`
  on the shared gateway key. Persist uploaded file ids and retrieve them directly instead.
