Configure API Loader for Specific Zuora Objects
The API Loader for the following Zuora objects are available in Developer Tools:
- Product Catalog
- Account & Contact
- Subscription
- Amendment
- Accounting Period
- Orders
The Orders API Loader requires that the Orders feature is enabled in your Zuora tenant. If you want to enable Orders, submit a request at Zuora Global Support.
You cannot use the Amendment API Loader with the Orders feature enabled.
These API loaders have three functions:
- Export the information on an object from your Zuora tenant.
- Import a CSV file with detailed information to create new instances of the corresponding object in Zuora.
- Migrate the object information from one tenant to another.
Create an API Loader Task
Take the following steps to create a new API Loader task:
- Click New Task, select the object where you want to export the information, and click API Loader. Taking Product Catalog API Loader as an example, a dialog is then displayed:
- Complete the configuration based on the desired run mode. See the following topics for further information:
Limitation
Product Catalog API Loader does not allow you to create products, rate plans, or product rate plan charges using the same name on an existing product.
For example, a product rate plan charge named TestCharge already exists on a product. If you want to add another charge of the same name to this product, you must create the charge with a different name, then use Generic API Loader to update the name of the charge to TestCharge.
