Enqueue a single piece of content for ingestion and return immediately with a job id. A background worker chunks it, embeds it and links it into the knowledge graph; poll GET /v1/ingest/{job_id}/status for progress. The job is scoped to the effective subject (the API key owner by default, or the subject named by X-Exo-Subject). Send an Idempotency-Key header to make the accept replay safe: retrying with the same key and body returns the original job id instead of enqueuing a second copy.

Authorization

This route requires the write scope. A missing or invalid credential returns 401 authentication_error. A valid credential without the scope returns 403 permission_denied, and the problem body names the exact scope required.

Headers

These are request conventions the contract does not declare as parameters, so they do not appear in the schema tables below.

Header	Applies	What it does
`X-Exo-API-Key`	Required	Your Exo API key, `exo_<env>_<token>`. `Authorization: Bearer exo_...` is accepted as an alternate.
`X-Exo-Subject`	Optional	Acts for a provisioned subject instead of the key owner. An unprovisioned id returns 403 `subject_not_provisioned`.
`Idempotency-Key`	Honoured	Makes a retry safe. The same key with the same body replays the original response instead of acting twice. See Idempotency.
`X-Request-Id`	Response	Returned on every response, including `204`s. Quote it in a support request.

Success responses

Status	Meaning
`202`	The accepted ingest job.

Errors

Status	Code	When
`400`	`invalid_request`	Malformed request, for example an invalid cursor.
`401`	`authentication_error`	Missing or invalid credentials.
`403`	`permission_denied`	Missing scope, or an unprovisioned subject selector.
`404`	`not_found`	The resource does not exist, or is not visible to this caller.
`409`	`conflict`	A conflict with the current state of the resource.
`422`	`validation_error`	The request was understood but failed field validation.
`429`	`rate_limit_exceeded`	Rate limit exceeded. Retry after the Retry-After interval.
`503`	`service_degraded`	A dependency is temporarily unavailable. Safe to retry.

Beyond the shared statuses, this route can answer with idempotency_in_flight, idempotency_key_reuse. Every problem body names its own code, and the type URI always resolves to the matching page. Every error is an RFC 9457 application/problem+json body carrying a stable code, a requestId, and a suggestedAction where Exo has one. See Errors.

Notes

Ingestion is async-accept. A 202 means the job is durably queued, not that the content is in the graph. Poll GET /v1/ingest/{job_id}/status, or subscribe to job.completed.
Send Idempotency-Key on every retry path. With the same key and the same body you get the original jobId back instead of a second copy of the content in the graph. See Idempotency.
The job result tells you what the content became. nodesCreated, edgesCreated and domainsDetected come back on the finished job, not on the accept.
