Import a project

POST /project/import/{import_path}

Overview

This API imports a project to a new location, such as a production Snaplex.

Optionally, you can also update the accounts used and add expressions to the project while importing.

Prerequisites

Environment (Org) admin permissions

Request

 POST https://{controlplane_path}/api/1/rest/public/project/import/{import_path}?{query_parameters}

Path parameters


Key	Description
`controlplane_path`	Required. The path to the SnapLogic control plane: `elastic.snaplogic.com` For the UAT or EMEA control plane, substitute the name for `elastic`. For example: `uat.snaplogic.com` `emea.snaplogic.com`
`import_path`	The path to the target project. Format: `/{env_org}/{project_space}/{project_name}` Note: The project will be created if it doesn't already exist, but the Environment/Org and the project space must already exist.

Query parameters


Key	Type	Description
`duplicate_check`	string	Indicates how to handle duplicates between the source and the destination during import. Valid values: `skip` or `true` If a project with the same name exists, Any existing assets with the same name are not updated. They appear in the `failed` section of the response body with a `409` error. Other assets are added. `create_new` or `false` If a project with the same name exists, A new project is created with a numbered name in the format `projectname number`. Example: `myProjName 1` This setting has no effect if the target project does not exist. `overwrite` If an asset with the same name exists in the target project and the asset's type is specified in `overwrite_types`, it is overwritten. Otherwise, it is skipped.
`overwrite_types`	list	The types of assets that can be overwritten, if an asset with the same name already exists in the destination project. Valid values: `Account` `File` `Flows` `Job` (task) `Pipeline` Note: Policies are always overwritten.

Request header

Specify Basic for authorization and multipart/form-data for content type.

 Authorization: Basic {your_encoded_security_credentials}
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Request body


Key	Type	Description
`file`	string	The unmodified zip file of the source project that was exported. Important: The project zip file must be exported from the source project and must be imported without changes to the new location. The name of this zip file does not indicate the name of the target project, which is specified in `import_path`.
`file_account`	string	Optional. The JSON file containing the list of accounts to modify. To create this file: Extract the `accounts_template.json` file from the exported zip file. The JSON includes nodes for each account associated with the project. Delete the JSON nodes for accounts that you do not want to modify. Update the values of the `value` keys for the accounts that you want to modify. Replace any encrypted values (such as the password) with the original plain text value. This is required, even if you are not changing the value itself, because these values are encrypted again during import. Important: Do not modify the UUID of the account or the structure of the `property_map` node. The `property_map` structure might be different for each account and must be preserved. If this file is not provided, the accounts are not modified.
`file_expr`	string	Optional. A zip file containing expression files to add to the root of the project in the new location. If an expression file with the same name already exists in the target location, it is overwritten. If this file is not provided, no additional expression files are added to the project. Important: If the zip file contains folders, the folder structure is flattened. If duplicate filenames exist in different folders of the zip file, only one of those files is copied to the new location. Example: An expression library file (typically with the `.expr` extension) might contain: `{ prefix:'test'; prefixer: x => this.prefix + x }`

Error handling


HTTP status codes	Status	Description	Resolution
`200`	`successful`	An array of objects that contain: the node ID the asset or an expression file is successfully imported.	N/A
`400`	`Bad Request`	The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.	Check if all the required parameters are added accurately. Check if the Body parameter is set as `form-data` and valid `.zip` file is added. Check if the Headers parameter is set with key as `content-type` and value as`multipart/form-data`
`409`	`Conflict`	This response is sent when a request conflicts with the current state of the server.	Check if a project with the same name exists. Set the `duplicate_check` parameter to `skip` or `true`. Existing assets with the same name won't be updated, and other assets will be added.
