# Knowledge · Re-process every source in a knowledge base

POST https://kd-agents.simplified.com/api/v1/knowledge-bases/{knowledge_base_id}/reingest

Queues one processing job per source and returns immediately with the
number queued and every task id. Sources already pending or processing
are skipped, so this is safe to repeat.

All of the returned ids must finish before the knowledge base reflects
the re-processed material. Use it to pick up a changed web page, or to
recover sources that failed.
