Insert Bulk Data From a File (async)

Creates a JST job (the LOADDATA_FILE type) for inserting multiple records to the Master Data table from a CSV file.<p> You can get the status of the job by calling the admin.fetchjst/{jstId} endpoint. The jstId can be found in the response of the /loaddata.file/{TypeCode}/async endpoint.<br> Allows parallel loaddata calls. You can also view the job in Administration > Logs > Jobs & Tasks.

The /loaddata operation is a very efficient and quick way to insert bulk data to the Master Data table. The main advantage is its greater speed when loading thousands of records (compared to e.g. /integrate).<p>

If used in a Groovy logic, it is recommended to use the api.addOrUpdate() method instead of this loaddata endpoint within the boundCall().<br> For more details see the Avoid api.boundCall article.

Please note If no joinFields are provided in the request, then this operation will insert entire records. It means that in this case (without joinFields) with /loaddata.file it is not possible to update just some fields (for this use the /integrate endpoint instead). The source data must always contain the entire row’s content.
