# Ingest Data

**note:** As of October 14, 2025, Data Cloud has been rebranded to Data 360. During this transition, you may see references to Data Cloud in our application and documentation. While the name is new, the functionality and content remains unchanged.

Load data records into your Data 360 programmatically using the Ingestion API or configure an S3 connector with retrieval schedule in order to pull records from S3.

- [**Ingest Data into Data 360**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/data-cloud-ingestionapi-ref/c360-a-api-salesforce-cdp-ingestion.md)

  The Ingestion API provides a RESTful interface that supports both streaming and bulk interaction patterns for loading data into Data 360. You can use a single Ingestion API connector for performing both bulk and streaming uploads.

- [**Create an Amazon S3 Data Stream**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/s3/c360-a-api-create-an-amazon-s3-data-stream-using-salesforce-cdp-apis.md)

  Create a data stream to programmatically stream data from an Amazon S3 data source. With the data stream you can ingest data into your Data 360 data lake.

- [**Rotation of S3 Credentials with Metadata API**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/s3/c360-a-rotate-s3-credentials.md)

  Use the Metadata API to rotate the S3 credentials and enable access to AWS. To update the S3 credentials you must retrieve the metadata of S3 connectors, modify the S3 credentials, and deploy the metadata.
