Bulk uploading images into the file column of a board

Hello,

I am looking for a way bulk upload thousands of images into the file column of an existing board. Each image belongs to one of the 600 items in my board (some items have up to 5), and I wish to upload every image in the file column of its own respective item. How can I achieve this? Will using the Monday API help, or is there a source elsewhere that solves the issue? Thanks.

Hello there @Onur and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here :muscle:

There is no way as of today to bulk upload mutilple images to a column using only one HTTP request.

You would need to follow this example for uploading the files. You will need one request per file and the iteration will be done in your script.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Matias

@Matias.Monday Thank you for the reply.

Do you think this can be automated by developing a script that iterates through the file column of each item?

Thanks

Hello again @Onur!

For sure. If you write a script, you can iterate through your items and upload one file after the other. Each time in a different HTTP request :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheeers,

@Matias.Monday,

By using a separate HTTP request for each item, will I have to modify the script each time? If not, since the script iterates through each item and uploads a file, is this not considered a bulk upload?

Thanks

Hello again,

You will have to modify the script to upload a different file each time / to a different item each time.

I believe it would be considered a bulk upload if it was only one request for multiple files in multiple items.
