Hi,
I'm kinda a beginner in using REST API and i want to create multiple entities at the same time.
Watching documentation, you can do it with v2/ENTITY/BULK, however i don't understand how the json file have to be formatted.
When I create ONE entity, I do it with v2/ENTITY i just do it like this:
curl -s -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'Accept: application/json' -u admin:$MDP_ATLAS "$ATLAS_BASE_URL/v2/entity" -d '{"entities":{ "typeName": "Referenceable", "attributes": {"qualifiedName":"some.qualified.name1"}}}'
But with BULK the doc is saying to format the file like this:
{
"entities" : [ {
"classifications" : [ {
"entityGuid" : "...",
"entityStatus" : "ACTIVE",
"propagate" : true,
"removePropagationsOnEntityDelete" : true,
"validityPeriods" : [ { }, { } ],
"attributes" : {
"property1" : { },
"property2" : { }
},
"typeName" : "..."
}, {
"entityGuid" : "...",
"entityStatus" : "ACTIVE",
"propagate" : true,
"removePropagationsOnEntityDelete" : true,
"validityPeriods" : [ { }, { } ],
"attributes" : {
"property1" : { },
"property2" : { }
},
"typeName" : "..."
} ],

}
}
And I don't understand how I should write that file.
Let's say I want to create two entities with BULK:
{"entities":{ "typeName": "Referenceable", "attributes": {"qualifiedName":"some.qualified.name1"}}}
AND
{"entities":{ "typeName": "Referenceable", "attributes": {"qualifiedName":"some.qualified.name2"}}}
How can I do that ?
Can someone explain me how to write that file ?
I thank you for the time you took to read my request, have a good day 😃 .
