# Ingest an IDX File

You can ingest an IDX file using the `Ingest` action.

Use the `adds` parameter to specify the document that you want to ingest. This parameter takes XML like the following example which ingests `c:\data.idx`:

    <adds>
       <add>
          <source filename="c:\data.idx" />
       </add>
    </adds>

The XML must be URL encoded:

    http://server:port/action=ingest&adds=[URL encoded XML]

For more information about the `Ingest` action, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.
