import { movementJobs } from '@wix/data';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { movementJobs },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function createFileUploadUrl(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.movementJobs.createFileUploadUrl(options);
};
```
