Jitsu Bulk / Batch API

Batch ingestion via POST /v1/batch using the Segment-compatible batch envelope (a batch array of events), plus a bulk archive endpoint POST /api/s/bulk that accepts large multipart uploads of events for synchronous loading. Useful for server-side backfills and high-volume sends in a single request.

  title: Jitsu Event Ingestion API
  description: >-
    HTTP event ingestion API for Jitsu, the open-source real-time event data
    pipeline and Segment alternative. Events are sent to POST /api/s/{type}
    (browser) or POST /api/s/s2s/{type} (server-to-server) for page, track,
    identify, and group events. Batches use POST /v1/batch (Segment-compatible
    envelope) and large archive uploads use POST /api/s/bulk. Requests are
    authenticated with a Write Key passed via the X-Write-Key header, HTTP
    Basic auth, or a writeKey query parameter. The server URL below is the
    Jitsu Cloud ingestion host; self-hosted deployments expose the same paths
    on your own domain.
