Send a multipart/form-data request containing your API key and a measurement file.

Columns are semicolon separated and have the following strict order:
mcc+mnc, lac, cellid, rnc, lat, lon, ratio, data, rfu

There is no header in CLF3 files. Therefore the columns must be provided in the order given above and all values must be there.

You can add comments to CLF3 files.
