# Ingest Data Sources

Ingesting the contents from a data source is very simple. Just use our 3 APIs:

* Create Ingestion: start ingesting data from a data source.
* Get Ingestion: get the ingestion results, including the ingestion status, etc.
* Index Ingestion: after get\_ingestion indicates the ingestion completed, index the ingestion results into the collection.
* Delete Ingestion: if the ingested data from a data source is not needed anymore.

{% hint style="info" %}
Index Ingestion automatically replaces previous results. For instance, if you ingest a Confluence space into a collection and later update it with new or modified pages, the new index will automatically supersede the previous pages.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Soon, support for automatic ingestion scheduling will be introduced, alongside planned enhancements to facilitate incremental crawling.

{% endhint %}
