Clear Finance Cloud provides only 1 option to ingest documents:

Ingest Documents via File API

Ingest Documents via File API is the most recommended option since it supports uploading documents in the bulk of up to 30 lakh document line items in one workflow which will typically take around 15 mins to complete.

Ingest PR via File

(Deprecated) Ingest Documents via JSON API

Ingest Documents via JSON API is the least recommended option since each request can handle only 100 document line items and can take a long time to upload all documents in batches.

This API is deprecated and no more supported due to scaling issues.

(Deprecated) Ingest PR via JSON
