The Enterspeed Ingest API makes it super easy to ingest vast amounts of data from your CMS, PIM, ERP, etc.

The source entities ingested are then instantly available in the UI in the “Source entities”-table and will, depending on your schemas, generate or regenerate a view.

That’s great and all. Using the API is extremely powerful. But sometimes you don’t need the most powerful thing to solve your problem. You just need it to be quick.

If you’re hungry now, you would prefer those sweet, sweet Taquitos (shout out to all the Taquitos-enthusiasts out there 🙌) from the local 7-eleven you can get instantly, rather than wait 30 minutes for a restaurant to make your meal.

This is why we’ve added the option for you to add entities directly from the UI.

On the “Source entities”-page, you will now see an “Add entities”-button in the top right corner. Clicking this button will open a modal that allows you to either upload one or more JSON-files or add your entity manually.

Nice.

Simply select the source you want the entity/entities added to. If you want, you can also change the generated Origin ID, which is a random UUID on the “Add manually”-option and is the filename on the “Upload files”-option.

As a help, we added the Request Body Schema, which shows which properties are available and which are required when adding an entity.

Enjoy!
