Service Documentation

The browser form interface is mainly intended for one-shot uploads. If you have a large number of images to upload, consider writing a script. With python requests, you would use something like:

import requests
with open("/PATH/TO/YOUR/FILE, "rb") as f:
    requests.post("https://dc.g-vo.org/citigbot/q/upload/form",
            data={"nick": "YOUR NICK"},
            files={"File": ("upload.fits", f, "application/fits")}
        ).raise_for_status()
