Batch Endpoints

You can use batch endpoints to insert, delete or read multiple entries at once. These three endpoints are only available when running Stream on your backend.

Upsert

Upsert allows you to insert or update up to 1000 entries with a single API call. The payload is an array of entries. Entries that already exist (same ID) will be updated with the new version.
