To add one or more files to an existing Codyt project.
Depending on the project configuration, the operation will get translation workflows ready and going: Save files to project, mark online, pre-translate and word count, create and assign jobs.
URL
(PUT) /api/projects/{pid}/workflows/new
PARAMETERS
The URL parameters are:
| The project’s ID. | int, Mandatory |
The request BODY contains a JSON object with these properties:
files | An array with one or more records, each describing a file to be uploaded. The records include the token referencing an uploaded a file. Example: [ { "token": "77ca3562-ff01f5882dd1", "name": "myfolder/myfile.docx" } ] See detailed description further down. | object[], Mandatory |
src | The source language code. This must be a valid project language. | string, Mandatory |
trgs | The languages to translate to. These must be valid project languages. Example: "trgs": [ "es-ES", "fr-FR" ] | string[], Mandatory |
deadline | Optional deadline for completion of work. Deadlines are assigned to the jobs that are created with the workflow. Example: "deadline": "2024-04-03T06:00:00Z" | datetime?, Optional |
workflow | Optional, selects
| string, Optional |
allowUpdates | Optional. Default is true.
| bool?, Optional |
jobsCfs | Optional custom fields to assign to all jobs created for a file’s workflow. See Custom Field Collection Record for details. Note: You reference a CF by either its “id” or its “name”. Example: "fields": [ { "title": "Activity", "value": "Fulltime" }, { "id": 4, "value": "A-221" } ] | object[], Optional |
callbackurl | Specify a URL which will be called upon success or failure of operation. This makes polling for operation status unnecessary. See Callbacks (with asynchronous operations) | Optional |
The files array contains one record per file. Properties are:
token | Use API media/upload to upload a file. It returns the token to be included here. Note: The upload of your file or files must be done prior to calling the present method. | string, Mandatory |
name | The file name, with or without folders. The file will be stored with this name & folders in the project. Some valid filenames: my-file.docx marketing/section1/presentation.ppt marketing\\section1\\presentation.ppt strings.product.json Note: When using “\” make sure to escape with “\\”. This is not necessary when using the forward “/” as folder separator. | string, Mandatory |
Optional parameters | ||
formatId | Optional document format configuration to be used for extracting content from the file. See Document formats to enumerate all existing file formats. Normally, you do not need to override the defaults: By default, the system selects the filter from the project’s File Filter configuration. | int?, Optional |
disableMt | Optional, default is false. If you explicitly want to prevent machine translation when preparing the file, set this property to true. Machine translation is enabled or disabled in the project’s word count profile. | bool, Optional |
reference | Optional sender ID for the document. For example, this can hold an identifier you assign to the document outside of Wordbee. | string?, Optional |
comments | Optional comments added to the document and shown in the translation editor. | string?, Optional |
RESULTS
This method is an asynchronous operation: Your request is queued and executes as soon as possible.
Asynchronous operations - How to:
The API method immediately returns a JSON object that includes the ID of the operation - look for the requestId
property. However, it has not yet been executed. You will need to await the operation’s termination in order to get results. Waiting can be done in two ways: Either you regularly poll for the operation’s status, or you wait for a webhook call. The latter is the callbackurl
parameter you may want to add in your request. We definitely recommend the latter approach. Please read Asynchronous operations for more details.
The JSON results, obtained with polling or with a callback, includes the operation status as well as any results specific to the API method. Below an example for successful termination:
{ "trm": { "requestid": 13432, "isbatch": false, "status": "Finished", "statusText": "Finished!" }, "custom": { "files": [ { "name": "file-003.htm", "format": { "formatId": 7952, "formatName": "Default", "formatDomain": "HTML" }, "exists": false, "success": true, "error": null, "did": 288981, "segments": 87 } ], "request": { ... } } }
Check the status of trm/status
. In case of success it should say “Finished”.
The node custom/files
lists each submitted file with these properties:
name: The name of the document in the project, including any folders.
format: The document format configuration used to extract content from the file. It shows the document format ID (see settings/documentformats/configs/list) , the format configuration name and the type of document (HTML, JSON, XML…).
exists: Indicates if the file did already exist and was replaced with this new version. If you disallowed file version updates (see
allowUpdates
) then the next property will indicate an error.error: Null if success. Otherwise shows the specific error why the file could not be processed. This may have many reasons. For example the file might be invalid.
did: The document ID. You will need this number for subsequent workflow operations such as to download the translation.
segments: The number of segments in the file.
The node custom/request
contains your initial payload, including some extra properties.
files: The list of files you submitted
src: The source locale
trgs: List of target locales.
projectId: The project ID.
resourceId: The project memory ID.
etc.
ERROR HANDLING
Correct and complete error handling will require some efforts. There are three levels of errors:
Invalid payload Immediate | If you submit an invalid payload, your API call will immediately be rejected with the error payload typical for the API. Here is an example when submitting an invalid source locale: { "error": { "operation": null, "date": "2024-04-03T15:57:01.2110105Z", "title": "Invalid parameter 'src': Invalid source locale" }, "reason": "Invalid parameter 'src': Invalid source locale" } Resolution: You likely need to fix your payload. |
Operation failed Delayed | If your payload is valid, your request is now queued. If the operation then fails with a fatal error, you get the async error payload. For example: { "trm": { "requestid": 559, "isbatch": false, "status": "Failed", "statusText": "Operation failed!", "statusInfo": "The parameter xy was not properly supplied" } } Resolution: Depending on the error message. You should not see such issues often. If the error details are unclear you may need to reach out to Wordbee support. |
Operation ok but file failed Delayed | The operation may have executed just fine but a submitted file (or several) could not be processed. The file specific error will be listed in the results, look for "custom": { "files": [ { "name": "file-003.htm", "format": { "formatId": 7952, "formatName": "Default Gemini", "formatDomain": "HTML" }, "exists": false, "success": false, "error": "Failed to process file. No segments.", "did": null, "segments": null } ] Resolution: Depending on the message. You likely face one of these issues:
