Can I reindex an API data input?

Is there a way to re-index an API data input?

I am able to clean the index to clear the data, but want to ensure that all the data can be re-indexed from the API. All the resources I have found for re-indexing thus far refer to log files.

Do you have any checkpoint mechanism in your data collection? If it is there you need to remove the checkpoint file to reindex the data.
