Workflow: Custom Sources
You can upload data from external data sources to the Alida platform through the API.
Uploading from external data sources is a two-step process that involves submitting the schema, the metadata that describes the data, and then submitting the data to upload. Both the schema and the data must be submitted in JSON list format.
1. Upload a JSON schema describing the data
Upload metadata describing your data in JSON schema format. You must upload the schema before uploading the data it describes. You only need to modify and re-upload the schema if the format of your data changes.
2. Upload data
Upload the data formatted as JSON that conforms to the schema you submitted in step 1. The data must be formatted in JSON list (array) format, and the data is validated against the schema.
