How do I supply Files.contentType?

[omikader]

How can I provide a value for my file's content type to the partitioning API?

I noticed that the code in unstructured-api determines how to partition each file using the content_type attribute attached to the FastAPI UploadFile. If one is not provided, it tries to infer the file type using the filename extension.

My file names are arbitrary UUIDs (no filename extension) so when I try to partition them I get this error

{"detail":"File type None is not supported."}

I would like to manually provide a value for UploadFile.content_type to avoid the fallback behavior but I don't see a way to do that using the JS client. Can we modify the Files definition to include an optional value for contentType, which I presume would be used in the unstructured-api code and result in skipping the fallback path?

export declare class Files extends SpeakeasyBase {
    content: Uint8Array;
    fileName: string;
    // PROPOSING WE ADD THE FOLLOWING LINE
    contentType?: string;
}

Hi there, apologies for the delay. This is certainly something that should be in the client. I can do some digging and get back to you soon. We're also planning to improve the content type checking on the server side in the near term.
