+```typescript
+const response = await socket.sendFile({

+    config: {

+## Beta Status
+This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major 
+version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning the package version to a specific version. 
+This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes.
+
+## Contributing
+While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. 
+Additions made directly to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, 
+otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a
+proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an 
+issue first to discuss with us!
+
+On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
