Create table import

Create a CSV import. Upload sources receive signed transfer instructions; workspace-file sources start processing directly.

OAuth scope: api:write.

POST/api/v2/tables/imports
X-API-Key<token>

Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.

In: header

Request examples use an API key. For OAuth, replace the X-API-Key header with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN.
