SingleStore Flow XL Ingest API

On this page

Note

This is a Preview feature.

XL Ingest handles the initial transfer of large tables by breaking them into smaller logical partitions. You can use this API to select and configure tables for slicing, and transfer data from source databases to SingleStore in parallel slices.

Additionally, you can use automated scripts to set up sliced data transfers, including slice configuration and license key setup. Refer to the Example Flow API Scripts for sample Python and bash applications that use the API.

Prerequisites

Before using the XL Ingest APIs, ensure that the table to be ingested is selected in Ingest, Skip Initial Extract is enabled for the table, and a full extract has been performed to copy only the schema.

Base URL

All XL Ingest API requests must be sent to the following base URL:

Http

http://<host>:<port>/ixl

Where <host> is the hostname or IP address and <port> is the port number where the XL Ingest service is running.

The following endpoints include HTTP methods, required headers, request and response formats, and example requests.
