Add object

post

/api/pvlt/1.0/data/collections/{collection}/objects

Adds an object to a collection. The request must include all the non-nullable properties, as defined by the collection schema.

When adding an object from an external system that uses UUID IDs, you can include the object ID in the request to set the ID in Vault. For example, "id","463a83d0-a816-4902-abba-2486e0c0a0bb". Vault normalizes the ID to lowercase.

If the object to add is exported from an external system or Vault:

• set import to true to import values for the built-in properties _creation_time, _modification_time, and _expiration_time.
• if the data is encrypted, to decrypt the data provide the encryption key in export_key.

The role performing this operation must have both of the following:

• The CapDataWriter or the CapDataCreator capability.
• At least one allowing policy and no denying policies for the write operation for each of the collection properties provided in the call.

See identity and access management for more information about how capabilities are used to control access to operations and policies are used to control access to data.
