Data Ingestion Schemas

Person (Full)	All Person Data fields	https://pdl-prod-schema.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/23.2/schemas/person_full_schema.json

Generate Custom Ingestion Schemas

If you have a field combination not represented in a preset schema OR if you'd prefer to build your own, you will need to generate your JSON schema for your data ingestion process.

There are many tools available that can quickly do this. For example, the Python package GenSON can generate a schema from one or multiple files like this:

$ pip install genson

# source file > target file
$ genson -d 'newline' my-pdl-data-file > my_schema.json
