## Import files from cloud storage

`files.import_from_cloud(FileImportFromCloudParams**kwargs)  -> FileImportFromCloudResponse`

**post** `/v5/files/cloud_imports`

Register files that already exist in cloud blob storage as file records, in one batch.

Unlike upload, this transfers no bytes: each entry references an existing
object by its container/bucket, filepath, filename, and MIME type, and only a
metadata record pointing at that object is created. Files are imported
independently and the response reports a per-file status. The response is 200
when every import succeeds and 207 when results are mixed, with each result
marked SUCCESS or a failure reason (file does not exist, invalid permissions,
or unknown error). Failed entries carry only the submitted filename and MIME
type rather than a full file record.

### Parameters

- `files: Iterable[File]`

  List of files to import from cloud storage

  - `container: str`

    The cloud storage container/bucket name

  - `file_type: str`

    The MIME type of the file

  - `filename: str`

    The name of the file

  - `filepath: str`

    The path to the file within the container

- `x_project_id: Optional[str]`

### Returns

- `class FileImportFromCloudResponse: …`

  - `results: List[Result]`

    Results for each file import attempt

    - `file: ResultFile`

      The file object (full File for success, minimal _FailedFile for failures)

      - `class SGPFile: …`

        - `id: str`

          The unique identifier of the entity.

        - `created_at: datetime`

          The date and time when the entity was created in ISO format.

        - `created_by: Identity`

          The identity that created the entity.

          - `id: str`

          - `type: Literal["user", "service_account"]`

            - `"user"`

            - `"service_account"`

          - `object: Optional[Literal["identity"]]`

            - `"identity"`

        - `filename: str`

        - `md5_checksum: str`

        - `mime_type: str`

        - `size: int`

        - `duration_seconds: Optional[int]`

        - `object: Optional[Literal["file"]]`

          - `"file"`

        - `tags: Optional[Dict[str, object]]`

      - `class ResultFile_FailedFile: …`

        Minimal file representation for failed uploads containing only essential information.

        - `filename: str`

          The original filename from the request

        - `mime_type: str`

          The original MIME type from the request

        - `object: Optional[Literal["failed_file"]]`

          - `"failed_file"`

    - `status: Literal["SUCCESS", "FAILED_FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST", "FAILED_INVALID_PERMISSIONS", "FAILED_UNKNOWN_ERROR"]`

      The status of the upload attempt

      - `"SUCCESS"`

      - `"FAILED_FILE_DOES_NOT_EXIST"`

      - `"FAILED_INVALID_PERMISSIONS"`

      - `"FAILED_UNKNOWN_ERROR"`

### Example

```python
import os
from scale_gp_beta import SGPClient

client = SGPClient(
    api_key=os.environ.get("SGP_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.files.import_from_cloud(
    files=[{
        "container": "container",
        "file_type": "file_type",
        "filename": "filename",
        "filepath": "filepath",
    }],
)
print(response.results)
