API Question - Automatic upload of an externally created 4MB JSON File to "Org files" each night

Question

I have an external (to Brightspace) automated overnight batch process that outputs a single JSON file (approx. 4MB).  I would like the JSON file to be automatically uploaded into Brightspace (Content folder in the main Organisational Files) replacing yesterday's file. The JSON is used by a custom Widget and currently this "upload" is being done manually (delete old file, then drag and drop new file) early each morning.

My question: Could this process be automated with the API and if so - thoughts on how best to achieve this?

Many thanks for reading / any reply.

Kind regards,

Richard

Hi Scotty,

Thanks again for all your assistance - this sounds hopeful.

A further query (if you have time?):  I would like to do this using your Python client library as a Python program will easily attach to the end of my existing batch process.

Do you see any issues combining your latest suggestions and this library?

Kind regards,

Richard

@Richard Stephens​ - one more piece of information came in that I'd like to relay:

We have a service that is doing this, it leverages an API call to write a file into org files - it uses the following API calls:

* POST /d2l/api/le/{version}/6606/content/root/
* POST /d2l/api/le/{version}/6606/content/modules/{moduleid}/structure/
* DELETE /d2l/api/le/{version}/6606/content/modules/{moduleid}
