Data Contract & Reliability

We maintain the data sources.
You ship the reports.

Upstream APIs change, tokens expire, and schemas shift. Datapipe maintains native data sources, monitors data source health, and validates field schemas so your scheduled reports stay dependable.

Built to absorb upstream API churn

Keep reporting and scheduled deliveries steady without writing or babysitting custom scripts.

Managed Maintenance

Centralized Data-Source Updates

Datapipe maintains native OAuth flows, pagination, rate-limit pacing, and API endpoints in one place. When a provider updates its API, we update the data source centrally.

Health Monitoring

Data Source Health & Reconnects

Track authorization, permission, and endpoint health for every connected data source. When a token expires or access is revoked, Datapipe flags the exact source with clear reconnect steps.

Schema Validation

Field & Type Checks

Reports and owner-approved write actions validate field definitions and schemas before running. If an upstream field changes type, Datapipe stops cleanly and prompts a schema refresh.

Custom Endpoints

Custom API Data Sources

Need data from an internal or niche REST endpoint? Connect a custom API data source with HTTPS validation and restricted credentials, and deliver it on the same schedule as native sources.

Questions before you start

Questions about the Datapipe Data Contract

How data-source maintenance, schema validation, health monitoring, and custom API sources work.

What happens when an upstream provider changes its API?

Datapipe maintains native data sources centrally, including OAuth token refreshes, pagination, and rate-limit pacing. When a provider updates an endpoint or field definition, we update the data source so you do not have to maintain custom scripts.

How does Datapipe handle schema or field changes?

Report queries and owner-approved write actions validate field definitions and types before running. If a provider field changes type or a target schema shifts, Datapipe surfaces a clear error and prompts a schema refresh instead of silently corrupting a report or update.

How do I know if a data source needs attention?

Data source health and run history track authorization, permission, and endpoint status for every data source. When a token expires or permissions are revoked, Datapipe flags the affected data source with direct reconnect instructions.

What if we need an API that is not in the built-in catalog?

You can add a custom API data source using HTTPS and restricted credentials, and run it on the same scheduled refresh and destination delivery pipeline. Built-in data sources also show whether they are available now or coming soon on the Data sources page.
