Blobs API
Since blobs can be any arbitrary binary data, the input and responses
for the blob API takes an encoding parameter that can be either utf-8
or base64. If your data cannot be losslessly sent as a UTF-8 string,
you can base64 encode it.
Blobs leverage these custom media types. You can read more about the use of media types in the API here.
