Overview

Connect to your favorite data storage platforms for effortless batch processing of your files. We are constantly adding new data connectors and if you don’t see your favorite platform let us know in our community Slack.

When ingesting data from a storage via a source connector, you typically store the resulting *.json files in a specified output directory.

To “rehydrate” elements in JSON form into in-memory objects to further use in your application, use elements_from_json:

from unstructured.staging.base import elements_from_json

elements = elements_from_json(filename=path_to_json_file)

All connectors can be used by the Unstructured Ingest CLI and the Unstructured Ingest Python library. The Unstructured JavaScript/TypeScript SDK supports only local sources/destinations on the same machine.
