Problem with Import a Single File API Call
Using Postman, I am able to upload a file to a Wdata table. Upon import, its status is "STAGED." I am attempting to use the Wdata API to IMPORT this file to the table. I am trying to use the "Import a single file" Wdata API endpoint that takes the format "/api/v1/table/{tableId}/import." Here is my Postman URL call:
POST https://h.app.wdesk.com/s/wdata/prep/api/v1/table/?tableId=table_id_inserted_here/import
The API call requires a body consisting of an "ImportDto" object. Going by the documentation and using the imformation I retrieved from the file I uploaded, I am using the following as the body in the Postman call:
{
"columnMappings": {},
"delimiter": ",",
"fileId": "file_id_inserted_here",
"metadata": {},
"tags": "{}"
}
When I run this POST call, I get the following response:
{
"code": 400,
"body": [
"name must not be null",
"tableSchema must not be null",
"type must not be null"
]
}
From the response, it looks like it is asking for table information. If I provide the requested information (name, tableSchema, type), it actually creates a new Wdata table based on the schema provided and does not affect the file I'm trying to import at all. This is not the intention of this API call. I don't think it should be asking for that information, since the body ImportDto object does not include that information. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong in this API call?

Hi Brett,
Thank you for your patience while I ran this question by some of our Wdata experts! They stated that it looks like tableId is being used as a query parameter instead of just part of the path. To fix this, they recommend trying to use this formatting to import instead: https://h.app.wdesk.com/s/wdata/prep/api/v1/table/table_id_inserted_here/import
If you have any questions or need further guidance, just let us know!
