Parameters

  2. Click View/Edit, then “Update via an API” to find the data source’s ID. It’s going to be in the resulting pop-up at the top:



File Details

A CSV file needs to be included in the PUT call. The file will need to meet these requirements:

  • Unique identifier column (which was identified when the data source was created) must contain unique values
  • Column headers must be unique
  • Column headers must include the headers existing in the current data source. File can contain new columns.

The Data Source Upload API is currently optimized for files up to 10,000 rows. While there is no enforced file size limit, uploading very large data sets may result in timeouts.
