Getting data into the platform is crucial for its functionality. Data can be uploaded through three main methods: API, file upload, or form submission.
The form builder allows users to create new data schemas for direct data input into the system. This is useful for custom data collection and entry, enabling flexible and tailored data management.
The upload method is designed to accommodate data sources that typically come in zip files or PDFs. Zip files are often used for GDPR request data from various services like LinkedIn, Amazon, or Hinge. Additionally, PDF documents are suitable for uploading sensitive content such as medical reports, bloodwork results, or documents related to financial strategies like FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). This setup ensures efficient management of diverse data types, catering to both personal and research needs.
The API method uses an OAuth builder to allow users to configure a data bridge to various services like Strava, Oura, or Spotify. This integration enables automated data uploads through scheduled tasks (cron jobs).
