Migration Manager API?

We would like to automate a larger file share migration for our client (> 100 TB). The migration should be mainly user driven and scheduled automatically by a tool that we will build.

 

Does the Migration Manger provide an API to automate a migration?

 

We are already aware of the file based bulk upload possibilities. Any chance we can automate these?

Can the API /_api/MigrationCenterServices/ be used? Any documentation available?

 

Thank you for your support.

    There is not a Migration Manager API to my knowledge. Your only chance to use Microsoft 365 migration APIs

      jcgonzalezmartin That's a pity because the API is actually there. If have made some further analysis. Microsoft uses _api/MigrationCenterServices/Tasks/BatchCreate to create tasks in the Administration Center.

      Unfortunately, it seems that this API is not documented. I have made a request on User Voice:

        Did you ever find a solution to this?  Also, what is the full path for the _api/MigrationCenterServices/Tasks/BatchCreate API?

         

        Thanks,
