# Add meetings to the review

`POST https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/meetings/backfill/{job_id}/sources`

Adds up to 25 sources at a time to a draft and returns the review: `{name, text}`, a file as `{name, data_b64}` (.txt, .vtt, .srt, .sbv, .docx, .md; 4 MB each), or a Google Doc picked in the Drive picker as `{google_file_id}` (read with your Google Docs connection; it's dated by the day Google created it when its name has no date, in your time zone: `tz_offset_min`, minutes east of UTC). Up to 300 sources per import. The same text twice, an empty file or one without a transcript or meeting notes is listed under `problems` instead.

- **Authentication:** API token required: `Authorization: Bearer mdk_…`.
- **Rate limit:** 60 per minute per IP address.
- **Guide:** [Import past meetings](https://docs.markdrop.in/workspaces/meetings-import#import-past-meetings)

## Responses
