If you just need the fileUrl to convert to Buffer or Base64 APIs, you just get the response from the promise of the uploadFiles button.

export async function button_click(event) {
    if ($w('#uploadButton').value.length > 0) {
        const upload = await $w('#uploadButton').uploadFiles()
        //If you are going to upload multiple files,
        //you are going to need to use a array function to deal
        //with the multiple responses in the array
        const fileUrl = upload[0].fileUrl
        //Use this fileUrl to feed the API you need.
    } else {
       console.log('Please choose a file to upload.')
    }
}
