A RESTful web service for validating files of tabular data.
Given a data file, applies a Goodtables table schema and returns the validation results in JSON form.
Using no validator (applies the GoodTables default validator only)
curl -F 'file=@files/budget.csv' https://goodtables-gov-dev.app.cloud.gov
Using validator defined in a local file
curl -F 'schema=@files/table_schema.json' -F 'file=@files/budget.csv' https://goodtables-gov-dev.app.cloud.gov
Using validator defined at a URL
curl -F 'file=@files/budget.csv' -F 'schema_url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/18F/goodtables-gov/master/files//table_schema.json' https://goodtables-gov-dev.app.cloud.gov
For readability, you may want to pipe the output through a formatter, like
curl -F 'file=@files/budget.csv' https://goodtables-gov-dev.app.cloud.gov | python -m json.tool
curl -F 'file=@files/budget.csv' https://goodtables-gov-dev.app.cloud.gov | jq
