Announcing the Aura Import API

We’re excited to introduce the Aura Import API, making it easier to automate and manage your data imports into Aura programmatically — whether you’re scheduling recurring jobs or integrating imports into your CI/CD pipelines.

This release is part of the new v2beta1 API, expanding Aura’s automation capabilities. The existing v1 API remains available for broader instance management.

New endpoints include:

POST /import/jobs
— Run an import job
GET /import/jobs/{AURA_API_IMPORT_JOB_ID}
— Check job status (with optional progress details)
POST /import/jobs/{AURA_API_IMPORT_JOB_ID}/cancellation
— Cancel a running job

The same functionality is also available via the Aura CLI.
