Import Archive Endpoint

The Import Archive is an endpoint in ProGet's Asset Directory API. It adds the contents of an uploaded archive in zip or tar format to the specified path.

curl -X POST -H "X-ApiKey: abc12345" --data-binary "@C:\ProGet\development-files.zip" "https://proget.corp.local/endpoints/internal-files/import/development?format=zip&overwrite=true"

The format argument may be either zip (for a zip file) or tgz (for a GZipped tar file). When overwrite is false or not specified, items already in the asset directory will never be overwritten. When overwrite is true, items in the asset directory will be overwritten. If the specified folder does not exist, it will be created.

Request Specification

To import an archive, simply POST to the URL with the AssetDirectoryName, path to the folder and the format.

POST /endpoints/«AssetDirectoryName»/import/«path_to_folder»?format=«zip/tgz»&overwrite=«true/false»

Importing an archive requires the asset directory name (e.g. myAssetDirectory), the folder name to be populated, (e.g. myFolder) and the format of the imported archive (e.g. zip)

POST /endpoints/myAssetDirectory/import/myFolder?format=zip&overwrite=true

«contents of imported-archive.zip»

Response Specification

Sample Usage Scripts

Upload multiple archives (Powershell)

This script uploads all archives (zip or tgz) in a folder, C:\Proget\development-files and creates a folder for each based on the name of the archive:

$apiKey = "a1b2c3d4e5"
$folderPath = "C:\Proget\development-files"
$baseUrl = "https://proget.corp.local"
$assetDirectory = "internal-files"

$headers = @{
    "X-ApiKey" = $apiKey
}

$fileList = Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath -File | Where-Object { $_.Extension -eq ".zip" -or $_.Extension -eq ".tgz" }

foreach ($file in $fileList) {
    $folderName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($file.Name)

    $dynamicEndpoint = "$baseUrl/endpoints/$assetDirectory/import/$folderName"

    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $dynamicEndpoint -Method Post -Headers $headers -InFile $file.FullName -ContentType "application/octet-stream"

    Write-Host "Uploaded $($file.Name)"
    Write-Host $response
}
