Import API hosts and authorization

Hosts

The Import API has different hosts from the HTTP API hosts. The Import API is hosted at the following URLs:

Region	API URL
Europe (Google Cloud, Belgium)	`https://import.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com/`
North America (Google Cloud, Iowa)	`https://import.us-central1.gcp.commercetools.com/`
Australia (Google Cloud, Sydney)	`https://import.australia-southeast1.gcp.commercetools.com/`
North America (AWS, Ohio)	`https://import.us-east-2.aws.commercetools.com/`
Europe (AWS, Frankfurt)	`https://import.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com/`

If documentation refers to https://import.{region}.commercetools.com, the {region} placeholder has to be replaced with the actual value.

The Import API uses tokens and scopes from any of the Composable Commerce HTTP API authorization flows with the following scopes:

manage_project:{projectKey}: grants permission to use all Import API endpoints. To access individual API endpoints, use more selective permissions.
view_import_containers:{projectKey}: grants permission to view Import Containers, Import Operations, and Import Summaries.
manage_import_containers:{projectKey}: grants permission to view, create, update, and delete Import Containers.

The required scope for sending requests to an ImportContainer is derived from its resourceType property as follows:

To create ImportRequests, an API Client must have the scope required to create a resource of the ImportContainer's resourceType.
For example, if resourceType is category, the API Client must have the manage_products:{projectKey} scope.
To view ImportOperations or ImportSummaries, an API Client must have the scope required to view a resource of the ImportContainer's resourceType.
For example, if resourceType is product, the API Client must have the view_products:{projectKey} scope.
