# Upload temporary attachments

`POST /attachments/temporary`

Step 1 of the two-step upload flow:
1. Upload one or more files here — the response returns a temporary attachment ID for each file.
2. Call `POST /attachments/temporary/assign` with those IDs to set each attachment's type and link them to a record (candidate, company, or vacancy), making them permanent.

Attachments uploaded here are stored temporarily and are not persisted until they are assigned.

**Allowed MIME Types:**
- **PDF:** `application/pdf`
- **Word Documents:** `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document` (.docx), `application/msword` (.doc)
