Task flow - Guidelines
Additionally, if manual data scraping is required, where individuals copy and paste data into a sheet and upload it into an API, the following steps can be followed:
Data Collection:- Manually copy and paste the desired data into a spreadsheet, ensuring each data point is entered into the appropriate cell.
Data Formatting:- Ensure that the data in the spreadsheet is properly organized and formatted. This may involve separating data into different columns, applying consistent naming conventions, and addressing any inconsistencies or errors.
Saving the Spreadsheet:- Save the spreadsheet in a compatible format, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or Excel.
Uploading to the API:- Access the desired API for data processing and uploading. Follow the API's documentation or guidelines to understand the required file format and upload method. Typically, APIs provide endpoints or interfaces for file upload and data ingestion.
Mapping Fields:- If necessary, map the fields in the spreadsheet to the corresponding fields or parameters in the API. This ensures that the data is correctly interpreted and processed by the API.
Initiating the Upload:- Initiate the upload process by selecting the file from the appropriate location on your computer and submitting it through the API's designated upload mechanism.
