Ingestors

The services that bring data into the platform. Each data source links to its ingestor through its method of ingestion.

There are three kinds:

  • APIs — we call an official API and receive structured data.
  • Scrapers — we read the source’s website and extract the data ourselves.
  • Fetch scripts — batch scripts that download or collect a dataset once or on demand.
