# Ingest an event with an ingest key (PUT alias of ingestEvent)

> PUT is accepted verbatim — the handler's only method check allows POST and PUT, and nothing downstream branches on the method. Not idempotent in the HTTP sense: each PUT stores a new submission unless an Idempotency-Key repeats.

  summary: Capture, route and deliver webhooks.
  description: >-
    Hookie exposes three HTTP surfaces.


    **Ingest + streaming** is the public plane. A path-form endpoint URL
    authenticates by its own high-entropy slug — there is no key, token or
    cookie — and an `ik_live_…` ingest key authenticates the `/v1/*` routes.
    Whenever the URL names a dataset the payload is stored whole into it;
    project mapping rules are evaluated on exactly one shape, `POST
    /v1/ingest/{ingest_key}` with no dataset segment.


    **The customer portal API** is a separate, token-authed surface for your end
    customers, scoped to one portal and one customer.


    **The admin API** drives the console. It accepts either a browser session or
    an OAuth bearer token from a connected coding agent — the same routes, the
    same validation, the same audit trail. An agent's authority is its user's
    workspace role narrowed to the scopes granted in the console.


    This document is generated from the request handlers and adversarially
    verified against them.
