Overview

Glasswall Halo provides the ability to export and import content items for supported file types. This facilitates the option for additional processing outside of Glasswall Halo, before being imported back into Glasswall Halo to be recomposed for usage.

Minimum required Halo version: v2.8.0

Exportable Content

• Users can export either a binary file or a Base64 encoded file. Once complete, the response is a standard ZIP archive or Base64 encoded ZIP archive respectively.
• The maximum file size for export is 1GB.

Note: Archives are not supported. These endpoints accept only a single file for processing. This means that the uploaded file, or Base64 encoded file, should not be an archive (e.g. ZIP, TAR, RAR) or contain multiple files.

Importable Content

• Users can import either a standard ZIP archive or a Base64 encoded ZIP archive. Once complete, the response is a binary file or Base64 encoded file respectively.
• The maximum ZIP archive size for import is 3GB.

Note: These endpoints accept only a single flat ZIP file for processing. This means that the uploaded ZIP file, or Base64 encoded ZIP file, should not contain any nested ZIP files within it.

Licensing

Accessing the Import and Export API

A license for Glasswall Embedded Engine Import and Export is required to access the API. If you would like to add Export and Import functionality to your Halo deployment, please contact us to obtain a new license that includes this.

Daily File Limit and Daily Data Limit

Utilising the Import and Export API will count towards your daily file and data usage. If your Halo file processing limit is exceeded, any new requests to the Import and Export API will fail in the same manner as they would with the Sync or Async APIs.
