Unstructured Platform API for REST interface Programmatic Data Transformation
Blog post from Unstructured
The Unstructured Platform API is a REST-enabled interface designed to enhance the Unstructured Platform's data transformation capabilities by allowing programmatic interaction. This API is particularly useful for integrating data transformation processes into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring consistency across environments, and enabling documentation and version control of workflows. It features four key concepts: Source Connectors for data ingestion, Destination Connectors for transferring processed data, pre-configured Workflows for data processing, and Jobs for executing workflows at specific times. The current API supports Basic, Advanced, and Platinum workflows, with plans to introduce custom workflows by Q1 2025. Existing Unstructured Serverless API keys are compatible, though the API endpoint differs. The Platform API is an additional offering and does not replace the existing Serverless API.
