Ingestion
Point any data at one endpoint — VectorScaleDB auto-detects the format, normalizes it into a unified temporal-semantic representation, and routes it through the same compression and indexing pipeline as every other data type. A genomics variant, a robot log, and a financial tick all become the same first-class, queryable object.
Every ingest path — whether you hit the auto-detecting universal endpoint or a format-specific shortcut — funnels through the same core pipeline. The format-specific routes further down are convenience shortcuts that skip auto-detection when you already know the format; they produce exactly the same unified representation. Lead with POST /v1/ingest/universal and let the engine do the detection.
https://api.vectorscaledb.com — the VectorScaleDB network. Requests are authenticated: send an API key as Authorization: Bearer KEY or an OAuth access token (see Authentication). Air-gapped, standalone, or co-located nodes and clusters are addressed directly instead of the network — e.g. http://localhost:5434 for a VSDB or VSOS node on this device.Regulated data (e.g. PHI) is gated fail-closed at ingest — unauthorized tenants are refused before anything is persisted.
