Deprecated

This method has been replaced with BulkImportFile, and will be removed on March 31, 2024.

Imports a bulk of files to the Media Manager using external urls.

Deprecation Notice:

This endpoint has been replaced with Bulk Import File and will be removed on March 31, 2024.

Returns information about the imported files.

Use 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 (SDK | REST).

To import files, you need to do one of the following for each file:

  • Specify its MIME type 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'.

Authentication

You can only call this method when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity.
