Why does Typesense API for the batch document upload not take in a valid JSON Documents ie, a list of documents? This just made what should be a trivial call, not.

The API is designed to support importing large number of documents. Accepting a JSON list will make this difficult to do as a lazy/streaming indexing operation.

Some of the API clients support this conversion on the client side.

Was going to say, we use the TS wrapper and bulk import millions of documents. The wrapper converts an array of objects to JSONL automatically
