titleCreating Multipart Form Data using FormData API
var singleFormData = new FormData()
var metadataBlob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(singleMetadata)],{type:"application/json"})
var contentBlob = new Blob([file],{type:"text/plain"})

singleFormData.append('data', metadataBlob, "metadata")
singleFormData.append('cid_63apple', contentBlob, "contentdata")

titleBatch Import Form Data
var multiFormData = new FormData()

          var contentBlob1 = new Blob([file],{type:"text/plain"})
          var contentBlob2 = new Blob([file2],{type:"text/plain"})


          multiFormData.append('data', metadataBlob, "metadata")
          multiFormData.append('cid_63apple', contentBlob1, "contentdata1")
          multiFormData.append('cid_64apple', contentBlob2, "contentdata2")

Assembling the Request

The multipart request JSON assembly is similar to the singular import. The same function executeRequest(request_object) can be used to send the request.
