Data format standards

For file-based delivery through S3, GCS or SFTP, exports should follow these standards.

  • File format: Parquet is preferred. CSV is an acceptable fallback.
  • Compression: Snappy, for Parquet exports.
  • Folder structure: Organized by dataset or table, then by date or hour.
  • Incremental key: Each table should include a field that identifies new or updated records, such as an updated-at timestamp.
  • Backfill first: Scowtt validates a full historical backfill with you before recurring incremental updates start.
Send files through SFTPSFTP is a simple way to get started quickly. Your team uploads files to a Scowtt SFTP account on an agreed schedule, using key-based login.Share data through Amazon S3You keep full ownership of your S3 bucket. Your team creates a role in your own AWS account that gives Scowtt read-only access to a specific bucket or folder. No access keys or long-lived credentials are ever shared, and you can revoke access entirely on your end at any time.Data refresh scheduleScowtt works best with fresh data, because predictions reach your ad platforms while campaigns are still optimizing.
