Add a new record (with auto-generated object ID)

Adds a record to an index or replaces it.

  • If the record doesn’t have an object ID, a new record with an auto-generated object ID is added to your index.
  • If a record with the specified object ID exists, the existing record is replaced.
  • If a record with the specified object ID doesn’t exist, a new record is added to your index.
  • If you add a record to an index that doesn’t exist yet, a new index is created.

To update some attributes of a record, use the partial operation. To add, update, or replace multiple records, use the batch operation.

This operation is subject to indexing rate limits.
