# See how entities were imported

Get information about how products, prices, discounts, customers, addresses, businesses, and subscriptions were imported.

---

## What's new?

We added a new `import_meta` object to [products](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/products/overview.md), [prices](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/prices/overview.md), [discounts](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/discounts/overview.md), [customers](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/customers/overview.md), [addresses](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/addresses/overview.md), [businesses](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/businesses/overview.md), and [subscriptions](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/subscriptions/overview.md).

- **import_meta** (object): Import information for this entity. `null` if this entity is not imported

## How it works

We're working on import tooling, which will let you import data from Paddle Classic or other platforms in the future.

In preparation for this, we added a new `import_meta` object to products, prices, discounts, customers, addresses, businesses, and subscriptions.

Where an entity is imported, this object returns information about the import. It's `null` for entities that aren't imported.

## Example

This is a response for the [get a customer operation](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/customers/get-customer.md) for a customer that was imported.

`import_meta` is an object that includes information about the imported entity.

```json {% title="200 OK" highlightLines="12" %}
{
  "data": {
    "id": "ctm_01hrffh7gvp29kc7xahm8wddwa",
    "status": "active",
    "custom_data": null,
    "name": "Sam Miller",
    "email": "sam@example.com",
    "marketing_consent": false,
    "locale": "en",
    "created_at": "2024-03-08T16:49:53.691Z",
    "updated_at": "2024-04-11T16:03:57.924146Z",
    "import_meta": null
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "aa0009cb-18f7-4538-b1cd-ad29d91cfaa7"
  }
}
```

## Next steps

This change is available in version `1` of the Paddle API.

It's a non-breaking change, meaning it doesn't impact existing integrations.
