Data Push API

The Data Push API provides an easy way to transfer data into Celonis Platform. For more detailed information on using the Data Push API, please refer to the Celonis Developer Documentation site.

For pushing data, Celonis currently uses micro-batching. Instead of inserting either huge chunks all at once or inserting record by record, data meant to be pushed into the platform is structured into these so-called "micro-batches."

As an exchange format, the commonly used Parquet or CSV file format is used.

The API provides an easy way of creating, executing, and monitoring micro-batch jobs. After the data is available in the system, you can transform, analyze and work with it as you would with a Celonis-provided extractor.

Limits

There is a 1 GB data limit on each data chunk. In general, splitting data into smaller chunks than 1 GB makes sense. For a push job as a whole which can contain multiple chunks, there is no data limit.

The API to submit a push job is rate limited on a team basis. These limits are fixed to guarantee platform stability for all of our customers:

  • 10 requests/second

  • 250 requests/hour - The interval starts at the full hour (UTC based).
