Long Description

This endpoint is used to upload your TSV or CSV inventory file to us for processing if you are not already using our Auto Uploader software. See the Import File Specification to see how to create your import file.

This endpoint is very different than the other endpoints and differs in the following ways:

Does not have an API version identifier in the URI
Uses an Upload credential instead of the standard API credential
Does not use the HMAC-based X-Signature header
Uses an Authentication-Token header

Parameters

Name	Description	Value Type	Presence

Name	Description	Value Type	Presence

Generally speaking, HTTP status codes are used appropriately for each response.

202 Accepted	Authentication success, when data is sent
401 Unauthorized	Authentication failure
