unknown_source

HTTP 400Unknown sourceIngest API

What happened

The batch names a source key that is not registered for this account in this mode. Sources are per mode: registering one in test does not create it in live.

How to fix it

Register the source under Sources — its class fixes its authority rank — and push again with the key exactly as registered.

Worth understanding

Source — A registered origin of observations, with a key, a class and therefore a rank.
Source class — What kind of source this is, which fixes its authority rank.
Test and live mode — Two isolated partitions of every table. The API key decides which one a request touches; there is no mode parameter to get wrong.
