        "<gid-3>",
        {
            "children": "<gid-9>",
            "exclude": ["<gid-x>", "<gid-y>", "<gid-z>"],

    ],
}

parent is the new parent for all assets in the selection and must exist.
selection is the selection of assets to move.

Success response

For many bulk operations, we don't report on individual items, because that report can potentially be very large, or it is processed in the background. We return a job.token, and you can look for it when you handle sync information - we report on the job while it is running and post a completion status there as soon as the operation is done.

Authorization: <JWT>

{
    "success": true,
    "result": {
        "job.token": "7c136ddb-4dfa-4ec1-bad4-15067cbf80d9",
    },
    "data": {}
}

result

job.token the job token to look for in sync events.

Job status

Look for the job.token in sync events to find status updates on the operation. The sync event looks like this:

{
    "type": "cc",
    "cursor": <cursor>,
    "action": "UPDATE",
    "data_type": "jobs",
    "data_key": "7c136ddb-4dfa-4ec1-bad4-15067cbf80d9",
    "data": {
        "project_gid": "<project_gid>",
        "job": "bulk_move_assets",
        "status": "processing",
        "info": {
            "total": 120,
            "remaining": 26
        },
        "created_on": 1613565541.4195538,
        "updated_on": 1613565543.2836412,
    }
}

status can be either queued, rejected, processing, or done.
