What Is a Seed File?

I have been given a task to upload a file and store it in a different location. And I need to return a seed file which should be used to retrieve the file again.

I'm done with all sorts of things but I can't get "what is a seed file and how can generate it and how can I retrieve the file later with that"

can someone help me with this?

Thanks for helping!

Not sure of your context, but seed is usually a file (or a template) that contains some default values to begin with.

Historical data being loaded into a table or tables (structures) hence seeding the file. This is usually done to get the history caught up with the integration. There is usually lag between a new structure/automation and the API going live.
