I have to create a feature where in the certain records needed to be put in a CSV file and then the CSV file is sent to another system for processing. This should be done periodically and programmatically. In the same manner, there should be a feature for Rollbase to accept CSV files programmatically and process the file's contents. How will this be done in Rollbase?
The first part is doable: create Batch Job which will periodically generate and email a template-based report.
We currently do not accept files programmatically. However this can be done as software enhancement. What protocol you have in mind for such uploads/downloads? Can you write a short requirements document?
Perhaps we can extend our REST API and accept CSV files to create or update records the same way we do with "real" CSV files. Please take a look how CSV upload works now.
I'm more inclined to have a REST API that will accept CSV file. Is this easy to do?
Everything is easy with Rollbase, we're doing job with a smile...
I will put this on my plate and let you know as soon as its done. You'll need to prepare Data Map to convert your CSV import into new records.
Alright. Will do this now :)
BTW, batch jobs which will be sent via email is not the requirement. The requirements was that the CSV will be dumped to a location/folder
I don't know how remote file (essentially HTTP request) can be dumped into location/folder. Which local client will do the job? What are authentication/security issues?
Good point; i haven't actually thought of that. Anyhow, I'll check what's on our plate and will let you know ASAP. Thanks!
We can do FTP upload to remote server the same way we do System backup batch job.
I just deployed new REST API which allows uploading CSV file and works the same way as CSV import. Please check out updated documentation.
Thanks... I'll study how this should work and will give you feedback.
I tried the API and since there is no provision for CSV file, I was expecting an error. However, the error was Unknown API. 
This API available for POST requests. Using browser you're making GET requests. That's why you're getting "Unknown API" message.
