CredentialsBefore using this method, retrieve your API key and the appropriate Sift URL for your environment. See Authentication.
Schemaless ingestion lets you send a JSON payload to the /api/v2/ingest endpoint without pre-registering an ingestion config. Sift creates the asset and channels automatically if they do not already exist.
