Start an import job

This call lets you queue a job to import a file or folder from a volume into a project on the Platform. Essentially, you are importing an item from your cloud storage provider (Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Storage) via the volume onto the Platform.

If successful, an alias will be created on the Platform. Aliases appear on the Platform and can be copied, executed, and modified as such. They refer back to the respective item on the given volume.

If you want to import multiple files, the recommended way is to do it in bulk considering the API rate limit (learn more).
