Method: datasets.import

Full name: projects.locations.datasets.import

Imports data into a Dataset.

Endpoint

posthttps://{service-endpoint}/v1/{name}:import

Where{service-endpoint} is one of thesupported service endpoints.

Path parameters

namestring

Required. The name of the Dataset resource. Format:projects/{project}/locations/{location}/datasets/{dataset}

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

Fields
importConfigs[]object (ImportDataConfig)

Required. The desired input locations. The contents of all input locations will be imported in one batch.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance ofOperation.

ImportDataConfig

Describes the location from where we import data into a Dataset, together with the labels that will be applied to the DataItems and the Annotations.

Fields
dataItemLabelsmap (key: string, value: string)

Labels that will be applied to newly imported DataItems. If an identical DataItem as one being imported already exists in the Dataset, then these labels will be appended to these of the already existing one, and if labels with identical key is imported before, the old label value will be overwritten. If two DataItems are identical in the same import data operation, the labels will be combined and if key collision happens in this case, one of the values will be picked randomly. Two DataItems are considered identical if their content bytes are identical (e.g. image bytes or pdf bytes). These labels will be overridden by Annotation labels specified inside index file referenced byimportSchemaUri, e.g. jsonl file.

annotationLabelsmap (key: string, value: string)

Labels that will be applied to newly imported Annotations. If two Annotations are identical, one of them will be deduped. Two Annotations are considered identical if theirpayload,payloadSchemaUri and all of theirlabels are the same. These labels will be overridden by Annotation labels specified inside index file referenced byimportSchemaUri, e.g. jsonl file.

importSchemaUristring

Required. Points to a YAML file stored on Google Cloud Storage describing the import format. Validation will be done against the schema. The schema is defined as anOpenAPI 3.0.2 Schema Object.

sourceUnion type
The source of the input.source can be only one of the following:
gcsSourceobject (GcsSource)

The Google Cloud Storage location for the input content.

JSON representation
{"dataItemLabels":{string:string,...},"annotationLabels":{string:string,...},"importSchemaUri":string,// source"gcsSource":{object (GcsSource)}// Union type}
