Upload endpoint and token

When you upload data or metadata using CSV or JSON files, use the upload endpoint URL and upload token for your solution listed on the Data Sources page.

The endpoint for data uploads is different than the one for data retrieval. The upload endpoint has no solution-specific information. Instead, the upload token contains the unique information for your AVEVA Insight solution. (Upload tokens cannot be used for data retrieval.)

The upload token does not expire, and therefore, should be safeguarded. If you ever believe the token was compromised, you can revoke it and get a new one.

To find the upload endpoint URL and upload token for your solution

1. Log into the AVEVA Insight solution you want to use.

   Or, switch to the solution you want to update.

2. Select .

3. Select Administration.

4. Select Data Sources.

   Note: If the data source is not yet created, you must first create the CSV/JSON data source.

5. To the right of the data source name, select and then select Upload Data or Metadata.

   The Upload to <name> data source box displays upload endpoint URL and upload token for the current solution and data source.

   Note: This upload endpoint URL is different than the retrieval endpoint URL. It does not contain solution-specific identifier because that information is contained in the upload token.

   

6. Select to copy the upload endpoint URL or upload token to the Clipboard.

To revoke the current upload token and get a new one

7. Follow the steps above to go to the Upload to <name> data source dialog box.

8. Under Token, select .
