Datasets upload via REST API

#1

Hello!

I checked the REST API docs but didn’t find if there is a way to upload a dataset via the REST api. So this way I could generate random data from a schema, download the data, upload the dataset and use that set for the second schema.

So … Is this possible?

There isn’t yet a way to do this via the API. I can definitely see value in your use case though. Will add it to the backlog.

Did this ever make it out of the backlog - I’ve got exactly the same requirement.

Thanks,

Upvote.
I’d like to do a similar thing so that i can script the generation of new interlinked datasets.

something like
curl “https://api.mockaroo.com/api/xytyaz?count=20&key=1234” > “Owner.csv”
** push the generated csv as Dataset **
curl “https://api.mockaroo.com/api/xytyaz?count=20&key=1234” > “Shop.csv”
** push the generated csv as Dataset **
curl “https://api.mockaroo.com/api/xytyaz?count=20&key=1234” > “Products.csv”

Is there a solution for this? I feel like this would be a really popular use case.

I would say the same, I’d like to have this in place

Needing to upload datasets in a scriptable way instead of manual upload.

Bump Bump… not hearing back from Mark. Is this a dead service?

Better late than never :slight_smile:

You can now upload datasets via the API. Here’s an example in node js:

const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const fs = require('fs')

function upload(apiKey, name, path) {
  fetch(`https://api.mockaroo.com/api/upload?key=${encodeURIComponent(apiKey)}&name=${encodeURIComponent(name)}`, {
    method: 'post',
    body: fs.readFileSync(path),
    headers: {
      "content-type": "text/csv"
    }
  })
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
}

@mvbrocato This is working out great.

I would like to see now an API to delete a dataset otherwise I will need to manually delete these temporary datasets I am building, uploading and consuming.

Thanks again for delivering the UPLOAD!!

You got it.

const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const fs = require('fs')

function destroy(apiKey, name, path) {
  fetch(`https://api.mockaroo.com/api/datasets/${encodeURIComponent(name)}?key=${encodeURIComponent(apiKey)}`, {
    method: 'delete'
  })
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
}

And by the way, I changed the URL for uploading a dataset to POST https://api.mockaroo.com/datasets/:name. To make it more RESTful. The old /api/upload URL still works for anyone that’s using it.
