Benchling Files API is one of 203 APIs that [Benchling](https://apis.io/providers/benchling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include File. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, a changelog, and a status page.

Files are Benchling objects that represent files and their metadata. Compared to Blobs, which are used by most Benchling products for attachments, Files are primarily used in the Analysis and Connect product.
