# ImportImageEmbeddingEncoder

Imports an image embedding encoder.

Type: asynchronous

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`encoder` | The name to give to the imported encoder. If you do not set this parameter, Media Server uses the same name as the encoder that was exported. | No
`encoderdata` | The data to import. Send files to Media Server using a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request. | Set this or `encoderpath`
`encoderpath` | The path to the data file 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 `encoderdata`

## Example

The following example imports an encoder from the file `model1.dat` in the current directory:

    curl http://host:14000/action=ImportImageEmbeddingEncoder -F encoderdata=@model1.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.
