POST/api/ingest/backfill

Upload historical events that occurred before you integrated the real-time API. Fraud models need past data to learn what “normal” looks like — a user’s usual login locations, transaction amounts, and timing — so early real-time scoring is accurate.

Endpoint

Method	URL
POST	`https://ingest.dojah.io/api/ingest/backfill`

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`Authorization`	Yes	Your private/secret key, sent as-is — not `Bearer`.
`Content-Type`	Yes	`application/json`.

Body parameters

Backfill takes the same payload as the real-time endpoint — see the banking, payments, and onboarding templates for the full field list.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`key`	string	Yes	Your Ingest key from EasyDetect settings.
`type`	string	Yes	Event type: `banking`, `payments`, or `onboarding`.
`event`	object	Yes	The historical event payload, using the same nested objects as a real-time event.

Response

Backfilled events are accepted for training and are not scored in real time, so no per-event verdict is returned. Batches are processed asynchronously; monitor progress from EasyDetect on your dashboard.

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Bad request — `type` is invalid or a required field is missing.
`401`	Unauthorized — check your `Authorization` key (no `Bearer` prefix) and body `key`.
`422`	Unprocessable — an event in the batch failed validation.
`429`	Too many requests — back off and retry.
