jobs/offline/import/init (GET)

Prepare for the subsequent import of translated Word, Excel or XLIFF files to a project. This method does a couple of things:

It creates a new files collection with its unique key. You will use this key to upload your file/s, see media/filescollection/{key}/items/file (POST) .
It displays the file types/extensions allowed for upload and import.
It shows the maximum number of files you can upload, as well as the maximum size limit for each file.

URL

CODE

(GET) /api/jobs/cuments/offline/import/init

RESULTS

The result is a JSON object. The properties you need in the context of an import are just these:

canXliff	Indicates if importing XLIFF files is authorized.	bool
canOffice	Indicates if importing Microsoft Word or Excel files is authorized.	bool
files.key	The unique files collection identifier. To view the contents of the collection, use: media/filescollection/{key}/items To upload a file, use: media/filescollection/{key}/items/file (POST)	string
files.maxFileSizeMB	The maximum size limit for each file in MiB. The default is 50.	integer
files.maxFiles	The maximum number of files you can import in one step. The default is 50.	integer
files	This object represents a new empty files collection and its contents (the files array). With the files.key you can now start uploading files. For a detailed description see the result documented in:media/filescollection/{key}/items	object

EXAMPLES

We initiate an import to a project with ID 1000. Use projects/list to find project IDs by project reference or other criteria.

CODE

GET /api/projects/1000/documents/offline/import/init

The method returns various properties:

CODE

{
    "canXliff": true,
    "canOffice": true,
    "options": {
        "commit": false,
        "writeLocked": false
    },
    "files": {
        "key": "5457027a-5c62-479a-aee1-f7dbbe3bfc28",
        "mandatory": true,
        "allowAnyFile": false,
        "maxFileSizeMB": 50,
        "maxFiles": 50,
        "parserProfileId": null,
        "parserDomains": null,
        "extensions": [
            ".xlf",
            ".xlif",
            ".xliff",
            ".xlsx",
            ".docx"
        ],
        "pageCountEnabled": false,
        "pageCountExtensions": null,
        "files": []
    }
}

Use files.key to then upload your file or your files to the “files collection”. Once the uploads are done you proceed with the actual import method.
