Automation REST API - Upload a new file for indexing

Warning! Do NOT use this if you have already changed / updated your schema.xml or solrconfig.xml files!!!
Only use it on new indexes that have schema.xml and solrconfig.xml intact.

IMPORTANT: In order to import data from a CSV file , please follow this tutorial as this will only index the contents and metadata of your uploaded files












Sample PHP code to upload to the REST API

  
    $target_url = 'https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/index_crawler_file';
    $file_name_with_full_path = realpath('./document.pdf');
    if (function_exists('curl_file_create')) {
        $cFile = curl_file_create($file_name_with_full_path);
    } else {
        $cFile = '@' . realpath($file_name_with_full_path);
    }

    // These are the extra fields that the REST API will expect
    $post = array(
      'email'     => 'YOUR_OPENSOLR_REGISTERED_EMAIL_ADDRESS',
      'api_key'   => 'YOUR_OPENSOLR_REST_API_KEY',
      'core_name' => 'NAME_OF_THE_CORE_YOU_WANT_TO_UPLOAD_THIS_FILE_FOR',
      // Optionally add a URL to index alongside your file.
      'url'       => 'https://your-website.com',
      'userfile'  => $cFile
    );

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
    $result=curl_exec ($ch);
    curl_close ($ch);
    echo $result;
