The testIngestFeedById() GraphQL mutation is used to test whether an existing ingest feed is has the necessary permissions.

To create an ingest feed, there are several mutations. Scan the list in the left margin for the type of ingest feed you want. To stop and resume an ingest feed, use the setForceStopOnIngestFeed() mutation. To delete an ingest feed, use the deleteIngestFeed() mutation.
