Your Algolia application ID. - `x-algolia-api-key`. An API key with the necessary permissions to make the request. The required access control list (ACL) to make a request is listed in each endpoint's reference. You can find your application ID and API key in the [Algolia dashboard](https://dashboard.algolia.com/account/api-keys). ## Request format Request bodies must be JSON objects. ## Response status and errors Response bodies are JSON objects. Successful responses return `2xx` statuses. Client errors return `4xx` statuses. Server errors return `5xx` statuses. Error responses have a `message` property with more information. ## Version The current version of the Ingestion API is version 1, indicated by the `/1/` in each endpoint's URL. version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://data.{region}.algolia.com variables: region: description: The region where your Algolia application is hosted. enum: - eu - us default: us security: - appId: [] apiKey: [] tags: - name: authentications x-displayName: Authentications description: >- Authentication resources describe how to connect to a source or destination. - name: destinations x-displayName: Destinations description: > Destinations are Algolia products or features where your data should be used, such as a search index or events. Algolia destinations require authentication with the `algolia` type. You can reference authentications by their ID when creating destinations. - name: observability x-displayName: Observability description: >- Check the status and details of your task runs. A run is one instance of a configured task. - name: sources x-displayName: Sources description: > Sources are third-party platforms or services from where you want to ingest your data. Sources may require authentication. To interact with such sources, you can reference an authentication resource by its ID. - name: tasks x-displayName: Tasks description: > Tasks contain information how your data should be read from a source and stored in a destination. Tasks have _triggers_ which determine when the task should run. - name: transformations x-displayName: Transformations description: > Transformations let you transform a record before it gets indexed in Algolia. paths: /1/sources/{sourceID}: get: tags: - sources summary: Retrieve a source description: Retrieve a source by its ID. operationId: getSource parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/pathSourceID' responses: '200': description: OK content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/Source' '400': $ref: '#/components/responses/BadRequest' x-codeSamples: - lang: csharp label: C# source: >- // Initialize the client var client = new IngestionClient( new IngestionConfig("ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID", "ALGOLIA_API_KEY", "ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_REGION") );
