Get website import status available since version 4.0.0 / 3.7.312 On-Premises

This API action returns status of import task created with "Import website" API call.

Once import task is finished further "Get website import status" API calls will return error "Import task not found.". Import task is considered finished on two conditions:

complete property of returned status object is set to true (successful import),
or error property exists in returned status object (unsuccessful import).

Please be aware that once import is successfully complete old website is fully replaced with imported one.

Make sure to do periodic "Get import status" API calls after starting import (recommended period is 3 to 10 seconds) since otherwise after 30 seconds of "silence" import service may consider the task to be abandoned and abort it.

This API action requires a loginHash, that can be received by using "Create session" API call with additional parameter more = true. Furthermore http://your-builder-domain.com/api/ in Call API URL should be replaced with builderApiUrl received from "Create session" API call, so new API url for this action would be builderApiUrl + website/import-status.

Possible values of TaskStatus.error.code:

Code	Name	Description
1	Service unavailable	Import service is currently unavailable due to maintenance or network connectivity issues.
2	Refusal to serve	Import service is not enabled for your account.
3	Internal error	There was an internal import service error.
4	Invalid URL	Invalid URL provided with "Import website" API call.
5	Cross-domain redirect	Website redirects to a domain that differs from the one in URL provided with "Import website" API call. Redirects between www and non-www subdomains is not considered a cross-domain redirect.
6	Timeout	There was a timeout in one of import service processes. Timeout usually happens due to slow website connection or due to very high website complexity.
7	Bad website	There is a number of reasons, why this error may happen: provided URL is valid, but domain name cannot be resolved; import service is unable to connect to domain due to firewall or network connectivity issues; requesting provided URL returns a HTTP status code that indicates an error; URL points to a resource with `Content-Type` different than `text/html`; URL points to a resource that is not a valid HTML page; URL points to an attachment (`Content-Disposition` header received);
8	Bad website resources	This is an extremely rare error when website cannot be imported into builder due to corruption in imported data (usually bad files imported into media library).
9	Website too complex	This error happens when service is unable to handle import of website due to extremely high requirements to computational resources.
10	Website protected	Imported website is located on a server belonging to one of our clients that has import protection enabled.
11	Task cancelled	Import process was cancelled due to abandonment (no status requests received for 30 seconds). This error may also happen on rare occasions when import service detects that there is no progress for several minutes and import task gets cancelled to perform an automatic service maintenance (can be considered as timeout or too complex website).
12	Owner does not match	This error may happen only if `loginHash` in current request differs from the one used in "Import website" API call.
