Hello,

 

I am trying to integrate the Anaplan API. I found that all the tasks (upload/import/export) listed in the Anaplan API documentation (http://docs.anaplan.apiary.io/) requires manual operations in Anaplan UI first. For example, I have to upload/import/export manually in UI first, in order to get the corresponding Action ID, then I am able to use Anaplan API to perform the exact same tasks with these provided Action IDs...

 

So my questions are:

 

1. What is the purposes/use cases of Anaplan API, if upload, import and export have to be manually operated  in the Anaplan UI first?

 

2. Is there a workaround to use Anaplan API to upload/import/export without manually do these actions in UI first? Since I was trying to upload and import an exact same file name (.csv file, with the same content header, but I changed the value of some cells) into a module with the same import task id as listed in the Anaplan UI - Actions. However, it seems that module data content not getting updated...

 

Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated!
