Add and Edit Proxies in Batch Mode

access-cli supports adding and editing proxies in batch mode, importing data from JSON or CSV files. Batch operations on proxies use the common batch mode flags.

JSON files should contain an array of objects, each containing the fields for each proxy you wish to add or edit.
CSV files should be comma-separated. They must contain a header, specifying the fields and their order, followed by the records (one per line).

When editing proxies, unspecified non-mandatory fields remain unchanged.

Fields

The expected fields for each format are as follows:

JSON Field Name	JSON Type	CSV Field Name	Example	Description	Mandatory

JSON Field Name	JSON Type	CSV Field Name	Example	Description	Mandatory
`id`	string	`ID`	`74bf962e-2082-4f89-ac07-49fb792e09ff`	ID of the proxy to edit. Used only when editing	When editing
`name`	string	`Name`	`GCN Proxy`	Name of the proxy	When adding
`location`	string	`Location`	`US-East`	Location of the proxy	No
`host`	string	`Host`	`myproxy.example.com`	Host of the proxy	When adding
`port`	string (adding) / integer (editing)	`Port`	`9000`	Port of the proxy	When adding

File Examples

Field order can be different from what is shown in the examples, and non-mandatory fields can be omitted. When using CSV, make sure to specify the correct field order in the header, and to maintain the order and number of fields consistent throughout each line.
