You are right that the quickstart is pretty large, we will think about how we can trim that and show only the essentials.

To do what you are requesting is pretty easy, you can just launch the server and use the client directly. The code would look like this:

```python

from r2r import R2RClient

base_url = "http://localhost:8000" # or other

client = R2RClient(base_url)

# load my_file_paths

...

response = client.ingest_files(file_paths=my_file_paths)

# optionally set metadata, document ids, etc.. [https://r2r-docs.sciphi.ai/api-reference/endpoint/ingest_fil...]

```
