A single row can be inserted using the ""row"" key: POST ///-/insert Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer dstok_ { ""row"": { ""column1"": ""value1"", ""column2"": ""value2"" } } If successful, this will return a 201 status code and the newly inserted row, for example: { ""rows"": [ { ""id"": 1, ""column1"": ""value1"", ""column2"": ""value2"" } ] } To insert multiple rows at a time, use the same API method but send a list of dictionaries as the ""rows"" key: POST //
/-/insert Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer dstok_ { ""rows"": [ { ""column1"": ""value1"", ""column2"": ""value2"" }, { ""column1"": ""value3"", ""column2"": ""value4"" } ] } If successful, this will return a 201 status code and a {""ok"": true} response body. The maximum number rows that can be submitted at once defaults to 100, but this can be changed using the max_insert_rows setting. To return the newly inserted rows, add the ""return"": true key to the request body: { ""rows"": [ { ""column1"": ""value1"", ""column2"": ""value2"" }, { ""column1"": ""value3"", ""column2"": ""value4"" } ], ""return"": true } This will return the same ""rows"" key as the single row example above. There is a small performance penalty for using this option. If any of your rows have a primary key that is already in use, you will get an error and none of the rows will be inserted: { ""ok"": false, ""errors"": [ ""UNIQUE constraint failed: new_table.id"" ] } Pass ""ignore"": true to ignore these errors and insert the other rows: { ""rows"": [ { ""id"": 1, ""column1"": ""value1"", ""column2"": ""value2"" }, { ""id"": 2, ""column1"": ""value3"", ""column2"": ""value4"" } ], ""ignore"": true } Or you can pass ""replace"": true to replace any rows with conflicting primary keys with the new values. This requires the update-row permission. Pass ""alter: true to automatically add any missing columns to the table. This requires the alter-table permission.","[""JSON API"", ""The JSON write API""]",[]
