Data Ingestion and Replication REST API

The REST API resources in this section apply specifically to the Data Ingestion and Replication service.

Use the REST APIs to create and manage application ingestion and replication, database ingestion and replication, file ingestion and replication, and streaming ingestion and replication tasks.

When you use Data Ingestion and Replication REST API resources, note the following rules:

•All APIs use the JSON format for request and response payloads.
•Authentication requires an IDS-SESSION-ID or a similar session token in the request headers.
•Resources use the following request header:

<METHOD> <serverUrl>/<URI> HTTP/<HTTP version>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
IDS-SESSION-ID: <IDS_SESSION_ID>

•Format rules, request formats, headers, and URI structures for resources are detailed in the respective ingestion and replication task topics.
•The base URLs and URI patterns vary by the ingestion type and are based on the serverUrl provided in the login response.
•If you use a tool such as Postman that automatically includes the HTTP version, do not enter the HTTP version in the URL. If the HTTP version appears twice in the URL, the request fails.
