Hi, Yes, you can launch URL fetch to get your file and then store it.
1 limit though: the 10 min processing (the processing limit of a file). You have to be able to do your get in that amount of time minus a bit (to give some time to do the store itself) If your file is not that big, you should rather use the Blob type (< 1 Mbyte) that can go directly into the datastore rather than a blob stored into the blobstore because it's basically prohibited to write to the blobstore from your application. If you really need the blobstore, you have to use the trick explained here (2nd post): http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/42f1db6e64a8e2e2/cb8652a43a259b7b?lnk=gst&q=blobstore+blob+trick#cb8652a43a259b7b If you really need the blobstore, can't you push from the server where you csv file resides rather than pull from gae ? hope it helps didier On Jan 22, 8:42 pm, Toby <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > On a daily basis I need to import a data feed which sits in a CSV file > on a server.
