Hi Team,
Our requirement is to import assets presents in network mounted drive. We decided to use ACS Commons URL Asset Import. This fits to our requirement and importing assets in lower environment.

But in higher environments, We can't perform any step manually. Everything has to be done either using some job or some utility. We are not allowed to create/start process manually.
Is there any way I can trigger URL Asset Import by using API or some other means.

Any help/approach please

@jnmatthew This has been tested on MAC/Terminal. May need to adjust as per OS/Terminal in case you face encoding related issue.

curl -u admin:admin POST 'http://localhost:4502/apps/acs-commons/content/manage-controlled-processes/jcr:content.start.json' \
--form 'definition="URL Asset Import"' \
--form 'retryPause="200"' \
--form 'dryRunMode="true"' \
--form 'jcrBasePath="/content/dam"' \
--form 'importFile=@"/Users/<your-path-to-file>/url-asset-import-example.xlsx"' \
--form 'filename="url-asset-import-example.xlsx"' \
--form 'defaultPrefix="nfile"' \
--form 'timeout="30000"'

I used only required parameters. Add other parameters as per your need.
