# DREADDDATA: Index Data over a Socket

The `DREADDDATA` index action (case sensitive) allows you to directly index data over a socket into the Content component. For example:

    DREADDDATA?optionalParamsData#DREENDDATAkillDuplicatesOption\n\n

NOTE: This index action requires a POST request method. See Send Data with a POST Method.

## Parameters

The following parameters are available for the ``DREADDDATA`` index action.

`Data` | The content of the IDX or XML document to index. You can use gzipped data. You must add `#DREENDDATA` to the end of your data. `#DREENDDATA` must be uncompressed, even if your data is in gzip format. This parameter is required.
`optionalParams` | The `DREADDDATA` index action accepts the same optional parameters as `DREADD`, except for `KillDuplicatesOption`. NOTE: The `DREDBName` parameter, which is required for `DREADD`, is an optional parameter for `DREADDDATA`. For information about the parameters and options available, refer to the Content Component Help.
`killDuplicatesOption` | This optional parameter is equivalent to the `KillDuplicates` parameter for `DREADD`, except that it does not use the “`KillDuplicates=Option`” syntax. You append the option directly to the `#DREENDDATA` tag that ends the `Data` parameter (for example, `#DREENDDATAREFERENCE`). The following option values are available: `NOOP` (available for `DREADDDATA` only) `NONE` `REFERENCE` `REFERENCEMATCHN` `FieldName` `ReferenceField,GREATER:VersionField` For more information about these options, refer to the Content Component Help.
