Timbal API key. Obtain your API key from the Timbal platform settings. See Authentication for more information.
Body
Destination table inside the KB.
Target KB (numeric id, same as the /k2 routes).
The source half of a dispatch, tagged by kind. Each variant maps to a
SourceSpec and gates on the connector advertising the matching
source:<kind> capability. Request shape:
"source": { "kind": "sql_server", "connection_ref": "...", "table": "...", "cursor_column": "..." }.
- Option 1
- Option 2
Show child attributes

Target rows per batch. Defaults to 5000.
x >= 0Resume checkpoint; omit for a full initial extract.
create | append | replace. Defaults to create.
Optional load-shaping for gentle extraction against busy source systems. Omit for no throttle.
Show child attributes

Where the KB's data lives: hosted (control-plane KB, the default) or
local (a KB runtime inside the connector's environment — requires the
connector to advertise the kb:local capability).
