Input file for btapi tool

Just to add more information : 

The following command is working fine : .\btapi.exe --verbose --env-file .\env-file.txt --input-json --input .\vaultGroups.json add vault/account-group

with the following json file : 

{
  "name": "VaultGroup",
  "description": "This is my test Vault Group"
}
 

However if I want to add several VaultGroup in one shot it is not working anymore with the following syntax : 

[
{
  "name": "VaultGroup1",
  "description": "This is my test Vault Group 1"
},
{
  "name": "VaultGroup2",
  "description": "This is my test Vault Group 2"
},
{
  "name": "VaultGroup3",
  "description": "This is my test Vault Group 3"
}
]
 

I have this output in verbose :

Hello Fabien Landais,

Just looking through your API string, and some other API documentation, it could be possible the API only supports adding a single entry at a time, and you would need to use a do...while or for… program loop through the JSON file one entry at a time, running the BTAPI Command to add once per new Vault Group you wish to create.

This also seems to be the case as per your exmaple where a json with a single new entry works as expected. The JSON can contain many ther properties then just the name and descrption, hence the use of that format, I suspect.

Hi PhilC,

Thank you for your answer even if it’s not the exact one I would like to hear 😅

Normally this kind of feature is really valuable to do mass import so if it’s not usable like that it’s a shame 

Hello Fabien Landais - you absloutely can use the API for Mass Imports, you just have to loop through a list within your code, from what I can see.

I would also like to know if we can get a sample provisioned for using BTAPI for bulk imports
