SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ingests and parses incoming data from APIs, webhooks, files, and sensors into a consistent, structured representation for downstream processing and auditing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ingest data from multiple sources (API responses, webhook payloads, file uploads, sensor streams) into a normalized, schema-ready structure.
  • Detect data formats (json, xml, yaml, text) and validate against optional schemas to ensure quality and provenance.
  • Output a structured payload with received metadata and parsed messages ready for downstream capabilities.

Quick Start

Provide a data source and optional format to ingest data, then read the structured output for downstream processing.

Frequently Asked Questions about receive

FAQPage Schema
How do I ingest and parse webhook payloads into a structured format?

To ingest and parse webhook payloads into a structured format, provide the data source and an optional format specification. The system detects the format, validates it against optional schemas, and outputs normalized messages ready for downstream processing.

Can I validate API responses against a schema before processing?

Yes, you can validate API responses against optional schemas during data ingestion. The system detects formats like JSON or XML and validates the incoming data to ensure quality and provenance before outputting a structured payload.

What is the best way to normalize external data streams from multiple sources?

The best way to normalize external data streams from APIs, files, and sensors is to use a parsing tool that detects formats automatically. This ensures all incoming data is converted into a consistent, schema-ready structure with provenance metadata.

Does data format detection work automatically for file uploads?

Yes, data format detection works automatically for file uploads without requiring manual configuration. The system identifies formats such as JSON, XML, YAML, and text, then parses the content into a validated, structured representation.

How do I handle sensor data ingestion for downstream analytics?

To handle sensor data ingestion for downstream analytics, route the external data streams through the parsing tool. It ingests and parses the raw sensor inputs into a structured, validated representation with provenance metadata for safe downstream consumption.

Why add provenance metadata when parsing external data?

Adding provenance metadata when parsing external data grounds the ingested payloads with source context and validation history. This ensures safe parsing, enables consistent output shape, and provides an auditable trail for downstream auditing.
