google<code>.html, where<code>is a sequence of letters and numbers. For example,google2827eae44ccfac6b.html.Depending on how your site URL is specified when you create the file, you may need to use the
createFolderendpoint to create a subfolder of/thirdparty. For example, if your site is specified aswww.example.com, the file should be uploaded to/thirdparty, so you do not need a subfolder; if your site is specified aswww.example.com/es, the file should be uploaded to/thirdparty/es, so you need to create a subfolder named/es.Use the
startFileUploadendpoint to generate a token for uploading the file to the appropriate folder.Use the
doFileSegmentUploadendpoint to upload the file.Publish your changes to the production environment.
View the file in your browser to verify that it was uploaded correctly. For example, if your site is
www.example.com/es, and the file you uploaded is namedgoogle2827eae44ccfac6b.html, the URL for the file is:http://www.example.com/es/google2827eae44ccfac6b
