# About the Attachments API

The Attachments API allows you to create and manage a contact's file attachments in a site, making it easier to organize, access, and maintain important attachments directly linked to a contact. 

With the Attachments API, you can: 
- Generate secure upload URLs for attaching files to contacts.
- Retrieve and list all attachments associated with a specific contact.
- Delete attachments that are no longer needed.


## Before you begin

Before you start to code, it's important to note that this API should be used in conjunction with the Contacts API as every attachment is associated with a contact ID. 


<!-- ## Use case
- [Patient Document Upload for Healthcare Providers](#).
 -->

## Terminology
- **Attachment**: A file attached to a contact, which can be an image or document.
- **MimeType**: A media type that indicates the format of a file. See the list of [supported mime types](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/contacts/attachments/attachment-v4/supported-mime-types.md).
