The starter template that Cosmocloud provides contains three methods and models.

Initially, APIs and models will be created in ‘Draft’ state. You can edit them in the Workflow builder to add more customisations.

### UPLOAD

* This method allows you to upload your files in your object storage and returns a URL with fields to validate your file.
* This method also contains an optional expiresIn | Expiration time for presigned URL (in seconds)
* This internally uses a *Create Presigned URL node* in the API, which you can go and tweak if needed.

### GET

* This method also contains an optional expiresIn | Expiration time for presigned URL (in seconds)

### DELETE
