@Himanshi Gupta Are you talking about the update sources API instead of Import project?

The body of your request seems to be of Update sources from the above post.

Also, you are using a PDF file, try to use sourceKind as File instead of url.

@Himanshi Gupta 202 accepted is provided after the job is submitted successfully. The submitted job can fail if it is unable to extract the text from the file. But, in this case it should work. I just added the same file in my project through a REST API request. Please see screen shots.

Body of my request:

Job status after the submission.

Questions visible in the same project in the Edit KB screen.

Are you using the Get Update Sources status API to check the status?

Also, on your language resource are there any network restrictions setup where it is only restricted to certain networks? This might fail the extraction if the file is not available to the job during the process.

@Himanshi Gupta Please raise a support case to check more details of the job failure. These details can be checked by service teams. If you need to add this file immediately, please use the language studio to add it as a source to your KB. Thanks!!
