page_numberinteger(int64)

The page number for which to get file metadata. This will default to the first page if excluded

Default 1

page_sizeinteger(int64)

The maximum number of objects to return. This will default to the DefaultApiPageSize setting if not provided

Create file metadata

Request

Security

api_key

Bodyapplication/jsonrequired

The file metadata to create

rulesetIdinteger(int32)required

The ID of the ruleset to create the file metadata on.

Example: 1

fileFormatIdinteger(int32)

The ID of the file format corresponding to this file. It is used to determine the fields for this file. This field is required.

Example: 2

delimiterstring<= 50 characters

The delimiter for a delimited file. This field should be left blank for other file types.

Example: "*"

enclosurestring<= 5 characters

The text enclosure for the file.

enclosureEscapeCharacterstring

The character used to escape a literal enclosure character within an enclosed value. By default, this is equal to the enclosure value itself, so doubling the enclosure character escape it.

escapeEnclosureEscapeCharacterboolean

This flag indicates whether the enclosure escape character also escapes itself. For example, if the enclosure escape character is *, then the sequence ** would be treated as a single * character, rather than an escape.

Default false

endOfRecordstring<= 25 characters

The string of characters that delineates the end-of-record for a file. Note that, for linux this is '\n', and for windows it is '\r\n'.

Example: "\n"

nameIsRegularExpressionboolean

Whether or not this file name represents a regular expression.

Default false

wholeFileMaskingboolean

This flag indicates whether the file is to be read as whole or line-by-line (Only for FIXED_WIDTH file type). For example, if the whole file masking is true, then the whole file will be read as a single record, rather than reading it line by line.

Default false
