Am trying to Insert/Upload a File(Base64) from Rest Client by mentioning

https://mysalesforce-instance.com/services/data/v48.0/sobjects/ContentVersion by giving Body as

{
"Title":"New Upload",
"PathOnClient":"NewUpload.JPG",
"ContentLocation":"S",
"OwnerId":"<My Id>",

You are using the wrong HTTP method. If you perform an HTTP GET to /services/data/v48.0/sobjects/ContentVersion, you will obtain the response body shown.

This is the sObject Basic Information endpoint. To create a record, you should be using POST.

  • I don't use Postman, but my experience is that making an invalid POST request gets you a completely different error.

When I had the same issue, it turns out that I was pointing to the wrong endpoint url.

My initial (wrong) url endpoint was https://{instance}.lightning.force.com/services/data/...

when it should have been

https://{instance}.my.salesforce.com/services/data/...

Unfortunately instead of getting a not found error, I got the object description returned.
