The Guardian API to PostgreSQL Integration

AI-first ETL from The Guardian API into PostgreSQL. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.

How Datrise loads The Guardian API into PostgreSQL

Datrise syncs The Guardian API's articles, sections, tags, contributors, publication dates, and headlines into PostgreSQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in jsonb columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamptz.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional declarative range partitioning by load date for high-volume tables. PostgreSQL folds unquoted identifiers to lowercase, so Datrise normalizes mixed-case source fields to snake_case.

Ideal for operational analytics and application backends that need fresh, queryable copies of your data.

FAQ

How does Datrise handle The Guardian API's custom fields in PostgreSQL?

Flexible values are stored as jsonb columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PostgreSQL types.

How does the The Guardian API to PostgreSQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on each entity's updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
