# ImportClassifier

Imports a classifier that was exported using the action ExportClassifier. You can also use this action to import pre-trained classifiers provided by OpenText.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`classifier` | The name to give to the imported classifier. | Yes
`classifierdata` | The data to import. Send files to Media Server using a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request. | Set this or `classifierpath`
`classifierpath` | The path to the file that contains the data to import. Specify an absolute path, or a path relative to the Media Server executable file. To strengthen security, Media Server can be configured to read files only from specified directories. For information about the directories that Media Server is permitted to read from, see the parameter AllowedInputDirectories. | Set this or `classifierdata`
`includeimages` | A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to import training images and image labels. You can run image classification without the images, but future enhancements to image classification might require retraining and this is not possible without the images. | No
`includemetadata` | A Boolean value (default true) that specifies whether to import the custom metadata that has been added to image classes. | No

## Example

The following example imports an existing classifier:

    /action=ImportClassifier&classifier=imagenet
                            &classifierpath=./pretrained/imagenet.dat

## Response

This action is asynchronous, so Media Server always returns success accompanied by a token. You can use this token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the status of your request.
