Returns information about the imported files. Specify the `parentFolderId` and `filePath` parameters to specify the folder you want each file to be imported to. If no folder is specified, the file is imported to the `media-root` folder. >**Notes:** > - The `media` property isn't returned in the `files` response object. > - When you import a file, it's not immediately available, meaning you can't manage or use the file straight away. Learn more about [knowing when a file is ready](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/assets/media/media-manager/files/importing-files.md). To import files, you need to do one of the following for each file: - Specify its [MIME type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types) in the `mimeType` field of the request. For example, `mimeType: 'image/jpeg'`. - Include its extension in either the `displayName` or `url` field of the request. For example, `displayName: 'Example Image.jpeg` or `url: https://www.example.com/image.jpeg`. - Ensure the server hosting the file supports HEAD requests. In these cases the Wix servers can retrieve the MIME type from the hosting server. > **Note:** If you want to validate the media type, specify the file's expected media type in the optional `mediaType` field of the request. For example, `mediaType: 'IMAGE'`. --- ## REST API ### Schema ``` Method: bulkImportFile Description: Imports a bulk of files to the Media Manager using external urls.
