Description

I might just be missing something obvious, but it doesn't look like there's an API endpoint for uploading data via a URL, only via a local file. In the web UI there's a call to urldownload -- but I don't see anything in the document or code about a corresponding API endpoint. Any tips?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check if an API endpoint for urldownload exists in the codebase. Look at the web UI implementation to find the urldownload call and trace how it's handled. If no endpoint exists, propose adding one based on existing file upload endpoint.
