Circle API 9.9.2 fileToken to be used in DataSources/aync (creation)?

[west-digital.fr]

Hello,

We are working on a project that will integrate Circle with a 3rd party application, by using the Circle API.

At some time, we will need to define a new Data Source in Circle, with the help of the "POST DataSources/aync" End Point, as documented here.

However, we understand that we may specify a "fileToken", so that the "POST DataSources/aync" End Point can create a new Data Source from a file, provided by the 3rd party application.

The point is that... even if the FileTokenModel is documented in the Schemas, we could not find any End Point, that we could use, to upload our file.

Q: is there somebody here who already experienced a similar situation, who could confirm that our workflow makes sense, and specify, how uploading a file-based recipient list and retrieve a fileToken, to feed the "POST DataSources/aync" End Point? Or, is this due to be done via the uProduce API, not the Circle API?

Thanks!

Hi,

Correct the data file Upload is done via uProduce TempStorageWS - circle API is then used to Create new circle Datasource and set Datasource as Master list.

From memory Datasource need to to be in XML format - however this may have changed :)

Documentation was not existent when I went through this process - I had to replicate how uStore implemented Circle Campaigns.
