THIS ENDPOINT IS DEPRECATED. Please use /v2/devices/assets instead. While this endpoint will continue to function as normal, we ask that integrations begin using the new endpoint instead for consistency with the rest of the C2C API.

Asset upload initiation specifically for C2C devices and applications.
