I'm trying to use the method POST to upload a file on SharePoint using REST API. However, I have to make a static name for the file.
Is there a possibility to name the file by the date of the moment the file is uploaded?
I'm using this link: 

POST https://{site_url}/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Folder Name')/Files/Add(url='{file_name}', overwrite=true)

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    If you are using the REST API in JS code to upload a file, you could name the file by the date of the moment like this: 

    var now = new Date();  
var fileName = now.toISOString().slice(0,10) +".docx";
