# Project import API
[Introduced][ce-41899] in GitLab 10.6
[See also the project import/export documentation](../user/project/settings/import_export.md)
## Import a file
```http
POST /projects/import
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `namespace` | integer/string | no | The ID or path of the namespace that the project will be imported to. Defaults to the current user's namespace |
| `file` | string | yes | The file to be uploaded |
| `path` | string | yes | Name and path for new project |
To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes
cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`.
The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your filesystem and be preceded
by `@`. For example:
```console
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" --form "path=api-project" --form "file=@/path/to/file" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/import
```
```json
{
"id": 1,
"description": null,
"name": "api-project",
"name_with_namespace": "Administrator / api-project",
"path": "api-project",
"path_with_namespace": "root/api-project",
"created_at": "2018-02-13T09:05:58.023Z",
"import_status": "scheduled"
}
```
## Import status
Get the status of an import.
```http
GET /projects/:id/import
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | -------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
```console
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/import
```
Status can be one of `none`, `scheduled`, `failed`, `started`, or `finished`.
If the status is `failed`, it will include the import error message under `import_error`.
```json
{
"id": 1,
"description": "Itaque perspiciatis minima aspernatur corporis consequatur.",
"name": "Gitlab Test",
"name_with_namespace": "Gitlab Org / Gitlab Test",
"path": "gitlab-test",
"path_with_namespace": "gitlab-org/gitlab-test",
"created_at": "2017-08-29T04:36:44.383Z",
"import_status": "started"
}
```
