#1MinuteTip In simple terms, Salesforce Ingestion API is a RESTful interface that allows you to load data into Data Cloud programmatically. This API supports two patterns:
- Streaming Pattern, which uses JSON as its format and is suitable for loading data in micro-batches through the REST API.
- Bulk Pattern, on the other hand, employs the CSV format and loads data using jobs.
For more information on this API, please refer to the Salesforce Developer’s blog mentioned below.
