Import Assets

Imports asset data in JSON format.

The request size cannot exceed 5 MB. For example, if the average asset record you want to import is about 2 KB, you can import approximately 2,500 assets in a single request.

**Note:** This endpoint does not support the network_id attribute in asset objects for import. Tenable.io automatically assigns imported assets to the default network object. For more information about network objects, see [Manage Networks](doc:manage-networks-tio).

Requires SCAN OPERATOR [24] user permissions and CAN EDIT [64] scan permissions. See [Permissions](doc:permissions).
