Add objects (bulk)

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

Adds objects to a collection. The request must include all the non-nullable properties for each object, as defined by the collection schema. Use the list collection properties operation to check the collection schema.

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

If the objects to add are 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.

If any object add fails, the operation fails and no objects are added.

The maximum number of objects that can be added in one operation is determined by the PVAULT_SERVICE_MAX_PAGE_SIZE environment variable.

See the add object operation to add an object to a collection.

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

  • The CapDataWriter or the CapDataCreator capability.
  • For each object in the request, at least one allowing policy and no denying policies for the write operation for each object property.

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.

Request

Header parameters

  • X-Tenant-Id - array of strings

    List of tenant IDs to enforce on the request.

Path parameters

  • collection - string required*

    The name of a collection.

Query parameters

  • adhoc_reason - string

    An ad-hoc reason for accessing the Vault data. Required when reason is set to Other.

  • reason - string required*

    Details of the reason for requesting the property. The default is set when no access reason is provided and PVAULT_SERVICE_FORCE_ACCESS_REASON is false.

  • reload_cache - boolean

    Reloads the cache before the action.

  • expiration_secs - string

    Object expiration time in seconds, cannot be set to 0. If not set, the default value is used. See the PVAULT_EXPIRATION_ASSOCIATED_OBJECTS and PVAULT_EXPIRATION_UNASSOCIATED_OBJECTS environment variables. If set to an empty value, the objects will be marked to not expire.

  • import - boolean

    Whether to write built-in property values.

  • export_key - string

    The key to decrypt property values. Can be provided only when import is true. This parameter is not intended to be used manually, but through the CLI command pvault import.

Request body

List of objects to add. The order of the objects in this array is preserved in the response.

array of objects required*

List of objects to add.

Each object:

A list of maps of object properties and their values.

Possible responses

The bulk operation is successful. This status doesn't indicate that the operation is successful for all objects. Check the response body for details of the status of each object.

object required*
  • ok - boolean required*

    Indicates whether the operation was completed successfully for all objects in the bulk operation. If the operation failed for one or more of the provided objects, this property will be set to false.

  • results - array of objects required*

    An array of objects representing the processing result of each item in the bulk operation. The order of the objects in the array will match the order of the objects in the request.

    Each object:

    A result object representing the processing result of a single object in the bulk operation. Each result object includes the following fields:

    • ok field is a boolean that indicates whether the operation completed successfully for the object.
    • id field is the unique identifier for the processed object. This field might be omitted if the operation failed before an id was assigned to the object.
    • error field is present when ok is false and provides more information about the error that occurred. The error field follows the same structure as the error objects returned in single object operations.
    • id - string

      The unique identifier for the object.

    • ok - boolean required*

      Indicates whether the operation was completed successfully for this object. If true, the operation completed successfully. If false, the operation failed and the error field will contain more information.

    • error - object
      • context - object required*

        The error context.

        Values of additional properties are strings
        Example
        {
        "objectid": "b56dd6aa-35f0-11ed-a261-0242ac120002"
        }
      • error_code - string required*

        The error code.

      • message - string required*

        The error message.

Example
{
"ok": false,
"results": [
{
"id": "497f6eca-6276-4993-bfeb-53cbbbba6f08",
"ok": false,
"error": {
"context": {
"objectid": "b56dd6aa-35f0-11ed-a261-0242ac120002"
},
"error_code": "PVxxxx",
"message": "The object is not found."
}
}
