Overview

The Ingest REST API is expertly engineered as part of Nacelle's platform to streamline the process of data ingestion highly focused in the developer experience.

Nacelle provides different ways to ingest data into its platform. One opinionated way of doing it is by using the Prebuilt Connectors created for the specific Shopify, Contentful or Sanity data sources.

A more powerful alternative is by using a Custom data source (learn more in How to setup Custom Data Source). This is precisely where the Ingest REST API becomes instrumental. It takes leverage of this type of data source by enabling indexation of content and commerce data types, such as collections, product, variants, inventory, price books, ensuring their seamless integration and optimal performance within the platform at scale.
