The Guardian API to Azure Data Lake Storage Integration
AI-first ETL from The Guardian API into Azure Data Lake Storage. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads The Guardian API into Azure Data Lake Storage
Datrise syncs The Guardian API's articles, sections, tags, contributors, publication dates, and headlines into Azure Data Lake Storage as partitioned Parquet in ADLS Gen2 per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in nested struct/map fields in Parquet, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as ISO-8601 timestamp columns.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses writes new date partitions to the container and compacts on a schedule, so re-runs update only what changed. Hive-style partitioning by load date, readable by Synapse and Databricks. ADLS hierarchical namespace makes folder layout matter, so Datrise keeps a predictable entity/date path your Azure engines mount directly.
Ideal for Azure lakehouse storage shared across Synapse and Databricks.

How does the The Guardian API to Azure Data Lake Storage sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses writes new date partitions to the container and compacts on a schedule.
