apps/wbflex/documents (POST)

Creates a new (empty) flex file in a project and marks it for translation for subsequent use with this API.

URL

(POST) /api/apps/wbflex/documents

PARAMETERS

Parameters are included as a JSON object in the request body:

pid

The project ID for an existing Codyt project. To find projects use: projects/list

Mandatory, int

name

The name of the flex file to create. The file name must have the .wbflex extension. The name can contain sub folders, see below. Examples:

  • myfile.wbflex
  • folder\folder2\myfile.webflex

Mandatory, string





LANGUAGES
srcThe source locale for the content you will push to the flex file. The locale must exist in the project.

Mandatory, string

trgs

Optional list of target locales into which to translate content.

If not supplied or null then the system simply selects all project languages.

Optional, string[]?





FILTER CONFIGURATION
filterId

Optional. To specify the Flex filter configuration by its ID. 

You can read more on this and see how to enumerate all Flex configurations here: apps/wbflex/settings/filters

Filter configuration can optionally be preset using filterId, or filterName or neither in which case the default configuration will be used. 

Optional, int?
filterName

Optional. To specify the Flex filter configuration by its name. You can list all Flex configurations using: apps/wbflex/settings/filters

Optional, string?





CALLBACK URL / WEBHOOK
callbackurl, callback

Specify a URL which will be called upon success or failure of operation. This makes polling for operation status unnecessary. See Callbacks (with asynchronous operations)

Optional


RESULTS

If parameters do not validate you receive a regular error JSON result.

The operation is an asynchronous operation and will return the newly created document ID ("did").

See Asynchronous operations for working with asynchronous operations.

A successful result:

    "trm": {
        "requestid": 2332,
        "isbatch": false,
        "status": "Finished",
        "statusText": "Finished!"
    },
    "custom": {
        "did": "99821
    }
}


EXAMPLES

The following tutorial explains the common steps to succeed with adding new Flex containers to a project.

Create document

To create a new Flex container, we issue a request like the following. Of course, you would define or replace the {{API2URL}} variable with the proper API end point.

Find the project ID

But wait! How do we get the project ID value (pid) so that we create the Flex container in the project we want?

You would use /projects/list to enumerate or find projects. For example, we can search the project with reference "WM-3484" and get back the ID like so:

Find the filter configuration ID

The filter configuration is optional, you do not need to specify filterId or filterName if the default configuration is just fine.

But if you want to specify it then use the API method to select all available configurations:
