Let’s say you have a file called simplex-logo.svg in the current directory. You can upload it with a file path:

from simplex import Simplex

simplex = Simplex(api_key="your_api_key")
simplex.create_session()
simplex.goto("https://www.simplex.sh/upload-example.html")
simplex.click_and_upload("Click or drag and drop", "simplex-logo.svg")

or with a callable:

import os
from simplex import Simplex

simplex = Simplex(api_key="your_api_key")
simplex.create_session()
simplex.goto("https://www.simplex.sh/upload-example.html")

def get_file_from_disk():
    return open("simplex-logo.svg", 'rb')

simplex.click_and_upload(
    "Click or drag and drop",
    lambda: get_file_from_disk()
)
