Content metadata import

A list of your URLs with editorial metadata, not traffic logs. Upload article and URL metadata here — not CDN or server access logs.

Where do I find this file?

Use this section when asking a data, analytics, CMS, or engineering teammate for the right export.

Common places to get it

  • CMS article export or URL inventory
  • Editorial spreadsheet with path, title, section, and paywall flag
  • Sitemap enriched with content class and section

Do not upload CDN or server access logs here (that is step 2).

Required columns: path

Optional columns: url, title, section, author, publishedAt, contentClass, isPaywalled, externalId
