# Ingest External V1

`POST /api/ingest/external/v1`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.thinqos.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.thinqos.com/api/ingest/external/v1`
- Auth: none declared

Ingest a batch of external sessions.

The outer envelope is validated strictly but each session inside
``sessions[]`` is validated independently inside the service so a
single malformed session does not abort the whole batch.

Pass ``?bulk=true`` for a historical-import (TOS-262): each newly-
created chat is auto-archived for the owner so the import doesn't
flood the live sidebar. Default ``False`` is live capture.

Returns 410 Gone if the source has been disabled for this identity.
