Creates the metadata of a Changeset.
For more information on creating and retrieving Changesets using iTwin.js see working with Changesets.
Important: This operation should only be used by iTwin.js. For creating and uploading a valid Changeset please use iTwin.js libraries.
Pushing a Changeset consists of three steps:
- Create Changeset metadata.
- Upload Changeset file to blob storage using
uploadproperty link from the response of Changeset metadata creation.
Request syntax:
PUT upload HTTP/1.1
Request headers:
x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob
- Complete the Changeset push by confirming that Changeset file was uploaded successfully. See Update iModel Changeset operation for the documentation.
Authentication
Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.
For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.
Authorization
User must have imodels_write permission assigned at the iModel level. If iModel Role permissions at the iModel level are configured, then user must additionally have at least imodels_webview permission assigned at the iTwin level. If permissions at the iModel level are not configured, then user must have imodels_write permission assigned at the iTwin level.
Alternatively the user should be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given iTwin the iModel belongs to.
For more information please refer to Account Administrator documentation section on Access Control API documentation page.
Rate limits
All iTwin Platform API operations have a rate limit. For more documentation on that visit Rate limits and quotas page.
