How exactly are you sending this HTTP Post? What are you using to fire it off what you have given me i just just the raw request. I need to see the code that you are running after submitting your form if thats what your using. — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Sep 05 '18 at 10:21
i use the api explorer ... https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/analytics/v3/analytics.management.uploads.uploadData?accountId=2465955&webPropertyId=UA-2465955-20&customDataSourceId=gx3hqqEjR7qBrcgrIDkToQ&_h=3& — Jan, Sep 05 '18 at 10:25

The Uploads: uploadData method is used to Upload data for a custom data source.

You can not use Google apis exploerer to upload files. It does not have that functionality it is only meant for testing.

You will need to code this yourself here is a nice example in java directly from the documentation

/*
 * Note: This code assumes you have an authorized Analytics service object.
 * See the Data Import Developer Guide for details.
 */


// This request uploads a file for the authorized user.
File file = new File("data.csv");
InputStreamContent mediaContent = new InputStreamContent("application/octet-stream",
    new FileInputStream(file));
mediaContent.setLength(file.length());
try {
  analytics.management().uploads().uploadData("123456",
      "UA-123456-1", "122333444455555", mediaContent).execute();
} catch (GoogleJsonResponseException e) {
  System.err.println("There was a service error: "
      + e.getDetails().getCode() + " : "
      + e.getDetails().getMessage());
}

i had, but it dont work so i wanted to test the api method with the api explorer. So when this methode dont work at all with the api explorer thx for the hint! — Jan, Sep 05 '18 at 10:43
