About the Data Movement Jobs API

The Data Movement Jobs API allows you to create and manage jobs to move data to and from a Wix site. Jobs can transfer data items or localized CMS content between data collections, files, or sites.

With the Data Movement Jobs API, you can:

• Submit a job to move data from a source to a destination.
• Query and list jobs for the current site.
• Retrieve a job to view its status.
• Terminate a job before it completes.
• List a job's logs to view additional details about it.

Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

• You can only move localized CMS content to or from a site that has Wix Multilingual installed.

Use cases

• Export data from a collection to a file.
• Import data from a file to a collection.
• Export, edit, and import localized CMS content.
• Move data from the current site to another site in the same account.
