This page provides an overview of ingestion-related APIs.

Ingestion refers to the process by which objects are consumed by View and subsequently processed and prepare for consumption by AI and other metadata, graph, or vector-driven applications.

View object storage enables applications, developers, and users to posit data directly into View for both persistence and processing. View object storage is available through View's standard REST API (documented here), or via the S3 HTTP-based API.

By default, View object storage is accessible on the following ports:

  • 8001 for View standard REST API
  • 8002 for S3-compatible HTTP API

The storagepool object defines where data is physically stored. Mapped to storage pools are bucket objects which serve as a container or repository for objects, which are essentially files. For larger objects, a multipartupload can be used, allowing a large object to be uploaded in separate pieces and later assembled as a single object.
