Summary

The testIngestFeedById() mutation tests whether an existing ingest feed has the correct permissions configured. Use it to verify a feed before relying on it to ingest data into a repository. It returns true when the feed passes the permissions check and false when it does not.

Syntax

graphql
testIngestFeedById(
      input: TestIngestFeedById!
   ): Boolean!

The mutation takes a required input argument of type TestIngestFeedById!. Supply the repository name and ingest feed ID to identify the feed to test. Use the repositories() query shown in the preceding Related section to retrieve these identifiers.

The mutation returns a non-null Boolean!. A value of true confirms the feed has the correct permissions; a value of false indicates a permissions problem.
