PDFs are not flat files. datathere does not treat them like one.

Most integration tools stop at text extraction. datathere uses AI vision to understand the structure of a document — tables, hierarchies, entity relationships, and nested sections — and builds a schema from what it finds. Scanned pages, digital text, and mixed documents are all handled through the same pipeline.

  • AI vision extraction identifies entities, tables, and relationships across pages
  • Hybrid processing: digital text used when available, OCR fills the gaps
  • Template caching for repeated document types accelerates future processing
  • Editable extraction prompts let you guide what the AI looks for

Nested, wrapped, inconsistent — it does not matter

Real-world data files are rarely clean. JSON responses nested six levels deep with arrays of arrays. XML with namespaces and mixed content. JSONL files where every line has a different schema. datathere parses the structure as-is and builds a hierarchical schema that preserves parent-child relationships, array boundaries, and type information.

  • JSON: automatic wrapper unwrapping, nested object traversal, array expansion with dot-notation paths
  • XML: namespace preservation, attribute extraction, recursive element-to-schema conversion
  • CSV: delimiter auto-detection, header inference, encoding fallback for malformed bytes
  • JSONL: schema union across variant records, malformed line recovery, per-line error tracking

Point datathere at an API. The schema builds itself.

Provide a URL and credentials. datathere calls the endpoint, detects the response format, follows pagination to the end, and extracts a complete field schema from the live data. JSON, XML, CSV, and NDJSON responses are all detected automatically. Nested data paths are resolved through JSONPath expressions.

  • Response format auto-detection from Content-Type headers and content sniffing
  • Supports common pagination styles including offset, cursor, link headers, and next-URL
  • Incremental sync with template variables for delta fetches
  • API key, Basic, Bearer, and OAuth2 authentication with token refresh

Every format becomes the same clean schema

Whether the source is a scanned invoice, a nested API response, or an XML feed with namespaces, datathere standardizes it into the same hierarchical field structure. Parent-child relationships are preserved. Array boundaries are marked. Types are inferred. Sample values are collected. The schema is ready for mapping the moment the source is connected.

  • Hierarchical field paths with parent-child relationships preserved
  • Type inference from actual values, not metadata declarations
  • Sample values stored per field for downstream mapping and quality analysis
  • Multi-file schema merging: upload new versions and the schema evolves
Standardized Schema
PDF | vendor.name string
JSON | customer.addresses.city string
XML | orders.order.line_items.sku string
API | transactions.merchant.category string
CSV | order_total number
Same field structure. Same type system. Same sample values. Regardless of where the data came from.
