Imports

An import uploads content, especially when you have a large amount of content. The Import object contains all of the information you need to upload content, such as a large number of usage records.

Operations

CRUD: Create an import

Request

Creates a data import.

Security
bearerAuth
Query
rejectUnknownFieldsboolean

Specifies whether the call fails if the request body contains unknown fields. With rejectUnknownFields set to true, Zuora returns a 400 response if the request body contains unknown fields. The body of the 400 response is:

{
    "message": "Error - unrecognised fields"
}

By default, Zuora ignores unknown fields in the request body.

Default:false
Headers
Idempotency-Keystring, <= 255 characters

Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types.

With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident.

Accept-Encodingstring

Include the Accept-Encoding: gzip header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response.

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a Content-Encoding header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

Content-Encodingstring

Include the Content-Encoding: gzip header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

Zuora-Entity-Idsstring

An entity ID. If you have Zuora Multi-entity enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you should not set this header.

Zuora-Org-Idsstring

Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header.

The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails. This header is important in Multi-Org (MO) setups because it defines the organization context under which the API should operate—mainly used for read access or data visibility filtering. If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs.

Zuora-Track-Idstring, <= 64 characters

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (:), semicolon (;), double quote ("), and quote (').

Zuora-Versionstring

The minor API version.

For a list of available minor versions, see API upgrades.

Bodymultipart/form-datarequired
Filestring, (binary)required

The data to import.

ImportTypestringrequired

The type of data to import.

Enum:"Usage""Payment""Quote""TaxationDetail""UpdateAccountingCode""CreateRevenueSchedule""UpdateRevenueSchedule""DeleteRevenueSchedule""ImportFXRate"
Namestringrequired

A descriptive name for the import.

{
  "File": "string",
  "ImportType": "Usage",
  "Name": "string"
}

Responses

Headers
Content-Encodingstring

This header is returned if you specify the Accept-Encoding: gzip request header and the response contains over 1000 bytes of data.

Note that only the following MIME types support gzipped responses:

  • application/json
  • application/xml
  • text/html
  • text/csv
  • text/plain
RateLimit-Limitstring

The request limit quota for the time window closest to exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

RateLimit-Remainingnumber

The number of requests remaining in the time window closest to quota exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

RateLimit-Resetnumber

The number of seconds until the quota resets for the time window closest to quota exhaustion. See rate limits for more information.

Zuora-Request-Idstring, = 36 characters

The Zuora internal identifier of the API call. You cannot control the value of this header.

Zuora-Track-Idstring, <= 64 characters

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you specified a tracing identifier in the request headers, Zuora returns the same tracing identifier. Otherwise, Zuora does not set this header.

Concurrency-Limit-Typestring

The type of the concurrency limit, which can be Default, High-volume transactions, or Object Query.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.

Concurrency-Limit-Limitinteger

The total number of the permitted concurrent requests.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.

Concurrency-Limit-Remaininginteger

The remaining number of the permitted concurrent requests.

For more information, see Concurrent request limits.

Bodyapplication/json
Idstring

The ID of the Import object that was created.
