Start CSV import of time entries

POST
/time-entries/imports
 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.buildworkpro.com/api/v1/time-entries/imports \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "sourcePath": "example", "mapping": { "additionalProperty": "example" }, "updateInPlace": true }'

Enqueues a CSV import job. sourcePath must be an opaque upload path returned by POST /jobs/uploads. Required CSV columns: projectId, userId, date (ISO), hours. Optional: id (triggers update-in-place when updateInPlace=true), taskId, phaseId, notes, isReviewed. Reviewed time entries are immutable — update-by-id will reject them. hourlyRate and totalCost are recomputed server-side from labor rates.

Parameters

Header Parameters

Section titled “ Header Parameters ”
Idempotency-Key
string format: uuid
<= 255 characters

Idempotent retry key for mutating operations. The first request with a given key executes normally and BuildWorkPro caches the response. Replaying the same key with the same request body (method + path + JSON body, SHA-256 hashed) returns the cached response without re-executing the mutation. Replaying with a DIFFERENT body returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. The cache TTL is 24 hours; after expiry the key is treated as a new operation. Keys are tenant-scoped. Recommended: a fresh UUID v4 per logical operation.
