Pushing data to the Celonis Platform using the Standard Data Ingestion API

The Standard Data Ingestion API allows you to push real-time data to the Celonis Platform using your existing IT systems. This AWS S3 compatible API operates on events/notifications that get triggered whenever a new file reaches the API and automatically picks it up and processes it to a data pool.

When using the Data Ingestion API, the following apply:

• File formats: Uncompressed parquet files only. Alternative file formats must be converted to parquet before being ingested.
• Extractions: The Standard Data Ingestion API always performs delta loads. Make sure to define the primary keys to ensure proper updates and avoid duplicates.
• File uploads: Single files and multiple files simultaneously (using a first in, first out or FIFO method).
• Data types: Flat and nested.
