If you decide to push your data per API you have to use the API route /api/sources. This route can automatically decide if an entry needs to be created or updated - as long as the id is unique - over every source.
To create an entry use the following request:
POST /api/sources/:sourceName
The value :sourceName inside the API call must be adopted to your custom source name. The source name must be in lowercase.
