One of the following:

Init object {action, etag }

action: "init" Indicates you have a new SQL file to upload. Link to this property etag: string Required when action is ‘init’ or ‘ingest’. An md5 hash of the file you’re uploading. Used to check if it already exists, and validate its contents before ingesting. Link to this property

Link to this property

Ingest object {action, etag, filename }

action: "ingest" Indicates you’ve finished uploading to tell the D1 to start consuming it Link to this property etag: string An md5 hash of the file you’re uploading. Used to check if it already exists, and validate its contents before ingesting. Link to this property filename: string The filename you have successfully uploaded. Link to this property

Link to this property

Poll object {action, current\_bookmark }

action: "poll" Indicates you’ve finished uploading to tell the D1 to start consuming it Link to this property current\_bookmark: string This identifies the currently-running import, checking its status. Link to this property
