Sourcemaps are used to get the original line and column number from a backtrace pointing to a minified or transpiled file. We recommend using public sourcemaps whenever possible. Builds that produce lots of sourcemaps can take a long time to upload via our private sourcemap endpoint. This API provides an easy way to upload private sourcemaps for use with frontend errors.
Private sourcemaps will not be used to resolve Node.js backtraces.Follow the Node.js installation instructions to configure your application to emit sourcemapped backtraces.

​
Matching sourcemaps

We will match the values for the name[] fields against the full backtrace URL. For example, the following backtrace line:
Shell
  at https://test.local/main.abc123.js:1:92623
Will match with the name: https://test.local/main.abc123.js. You can add multiple name’s in one curl request: 
curl -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'name[]=https://test.local/main.abc123.js' \
  -F 'name[]=https://cdn.local/main.abc123.js' \
  -F 'revision=abcdef' \
  -F 'file=@/~project/main.js.map' \
  'https://appsignal.com/api/sourcemaps?push_api_key=xxx&app_name=AppSignal&environment=development'
Note that you can only upload one sourcemap file at a time, so if you have multiple sourcemap files, you will have to send an upload request for each file separately. The maximum upload size allowed for a sourcemap file is 100MB.

​
Parameters

All parameters, except for file can be sent either in the POST body or as GET parameters. All parameters are required.
ParameterTypeDescription
push_api_keyStringYour organization’s Push API key.
