Using the compressedBinaryData Property

This is for:

Developer System Administrator

You can use the compressedBinaryData property when you want to push 5 MB or less of uncompressed, or Deflate, GZip, LZMA, or ZLib compressed, then Base64 encoded binary or non-binary item data.

Using the compressedBinaryData Property When Pushing a Single Item

The following example shows how you can use the compressedBinaryData property to specify item data when performing a single push operation (see Add or Update a Single Item in a Push Source).

When using the compressedBinaryData property to push a single item, your query string should include the compressionType parameter along with the compression algorithm that was applied on the data:

  • UNCOMPRESSED

  • DEFLATE

  • GZIP

  • LZMA

  • ZLIB

Those values are case sensitive. The default value is ZLIB.

Using the compressedBinaryData Property When Uploading a Batch of Items

The following example shows how you can use the compressedBinaryData property to specify item data when uploading content into a file container before performing a batch push operation (see Manage batches of items in a Push source - Step 2: Upload the Content Update into the File Container).

When using the compressedBinaryData property to push the data of an item in a batch, the document body this item should include the compressionType property along with the compression algorithm that was applied on the data:

  • "UNCOMPRESSED"

  • "DEFLATE"

  • "GZIP"

  • "LZMA"

  • "ZLIB"

Those values are case sensitive. The default value is "ZLIB".
