Import tasks
Import translation kits that contain translated tasks.
For security reasons, you need to perform a Login action before making any other public calls to the WorldServer API. The
sessionId in the response is your session token. Use this token in all the other calls that you make.
Also, make sure that you have the appropriate user type permissions to perform this API call. To view or update your permissions, in WorldServer, go to and then select your user type.
API call
<protocol>://<ws-host>:<ws-port>/ws-api/v2/tasks/import?token=<sessionId>

Before you can import tasks, you need to upload the assets corresponding to those tasks into WorldServer.
After you upload an asset through the API, the response includes an
