Start a reindex to populate Typesense with data from your existing database. Use when you spin up a new Typesense instance alongside a database that already contains records.
If you’re using the auto-provisioned Enterprise Core instance included with your Production License deployment, set the base URL to: https://ENTERPRISE_PUBLIC_URL/core.If you’re connecting to a different Core instance, use the publicly accessible base URL for that instance instead.

​
Authorization

If set, the API uses an API key for authentication. Include the following header in your requests: X-blnk-key: <api-key>. Replace <api-key> with your secret API key. Ensure the key is kept secure and not exposed in public repositories or client-side code. See also: Secure your Blnk server
