## Path parameters

- `company_id` string, uuid, required: Company id
- `source_id` string, uuid, required: Source id

## Request body

- TestImportRequest
  - `document` object, nullable
  - `import_scope` ImportScopeIn: Which part of the feed an import brings in (decision 96). Every field is optional, and a scope that narrows nothing is the whole feed. The bounds, and the rule that ``filter`` and ``external_ids`` do not go together, are checked by ``core.pipeline.scope.normalize_import_scope``, which answers 400 ``invalid-import-scope`` naming each problem.
    - `filter` object, nullable
    - `external_ids` string[], nullable
    - `limit` integer, nullable
    - `pick` 'first' | 'spread'

## Response `200`
