File Upload with progress tracking c#

Am fairly new to Web Development, and am currently building a website for client using Angular 5 front end, c# back end, using ASP.NET Core. The issue I'm having is I can pass the file and upload it, but want some way of tracking the upload process, as before I upload the file I run a whole bunch of formatting checks which can take anywhere between 10-15 minutes due to the size of the file.

Is there a way to have two HTTP requests, one which will start the process and return an indicator that the process has begun and another which can be called periodically from the front end, and provide a status update on the validating taking place.

Thanks in advance!
