Stream Data In

Streaming data into the Novelty Detector is simply a matter of making REST API calls. Two endpoints are available:

• Record and Score Observation: POST /api/v2/namespaces/{namespace}/observations
• Record and Score Observations Batch: POST /api/v2/namespaces/{namespace}/observations/bulk

The only difference between these two endpoints is how many observations they receive. The single observation endpoint takes a single observation and returns a single result. The bulk endpoint accepts an array of observations and returns a single response containing an array of results. These two endpoints can be used together. Full interactive documentation for these and all other API endpoints is available in each running instance of thatDot Novelty Detector.

Feeding in results requires choosing a value for {namespace} in the POST URL. This value is chosen by the user and will be used as the name of the namespace for the provided observation(s). A namespace is just a group of observations. All observations passed to the same namespace will use previous observations in that namespace as a part of their novelty calculations. Namespaces with different names have absolutely no bearing on each other. Namespace names must be 1-16 characters, start with a letter, and contain only letters and digits.
