# Upload CSV

POST https://api.humanloop.com/v5/datasets/{id}/datapoints/csv
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Add Datapoints from a CSV file to a Dataset.

This will create a new version of the Dataset with the Datapoints from the CSV file.

If either `version_id` or `environment` is provided, the new version will be based on the specified version,
with the Datapoints from the CSV file added to the existing Datapoints in the version.
If neither `version_id` nor `environment` is provided, the new version will be based on the version
of the Dataset that is deployed to the default Environment.

You can optionally provide a name and description for the new version using `version_name`
and `version_description` parameters.

Reference: https://humanloop.com/docs/api/datasets/upload-csv

## Authentication

- `X-API-KEY` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — Unique identifier for the Dataset

### Query parameters

- `version_id` (string, optional) — ID of the specific Dataset version to base the created Version on.
- `environment` (string, optional) — Name of the Environment identifying a deployed Version to base the created Version on.

### Body (multipart/form-data)

This endpoint expects a multipart form containing a file.

- `file` (file, required) — A CSV file containing Datapoints to be added to the Dataset.
- `version_name` (string, optional) — Name for the new Dataset version.
- `version_description` (string, optional) — Description for the new Dataset version.
