One of the following tools: Terminal (with curl command), Postman, or scripting environment.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

The Bulk Monitor Creation API uses a two-step process:

1. Creates a job ID by uploading your monitor data file.
2. Checks job status to verify monitor creation status.
{#import-and-create-synthetic-monitors-in-bulk-using-apis__ol_rt1_y3s_h3c}  
You can access this API through one of the following methods:

* Terminal using curl commands
* Postman application
* Custom scripts
{#import-and-create-synthetic-monitors-in-bulk-using-apis__ul_izh_1js_h3c}  
The API requires either a basic authentication or oauth token authentication.

* Basic auth:

  ```ph codeph
  curl -u "username:password"
  ```

* OAuth token:

  ```ph codeph
  curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-oauth-token>"
  ```

## Prozedur

1. Prepare your monitor data file in raw JSON or CSV format.
2. Choose your preferred method (Terminal, Postman, or Script).
3. Call the bulk import API endpoint to upload the file and generate a job ID.
4. Use the status check URL to verify monitor creation status.
5. Review the response for successful monitor creation or error details.
6. Update the source file with correct data (if there are errors), and resubmit.
