Unstructured zip ingest

Time to complete: ~15–30 min (depends on zip size)
What you'll accomplish: Upload a labeled zip through Lake and land tabular results in bronze.

Before you start

• Zip organized per folder layout (folder names = class labels)
• Sidebar → Lake (/data)
• This is bulk ingest — for single-file APIs use Read/Vision instead

Steps

1. Sidebar → Data Warehouse → Lake.
2. Click Add data → choose Unstructured ("Labeled zip of images or documents").
3. Upload your zip; name the job if prompted.
4. Wait for completion — progress banner shows running jobs; click Resume job if you navigate away.
5. Bronze tab → new table with filename and label columns (plus extracted features).
6. Optional: Lab profile → silver → gold publish → ML.

Legacy URL

/forge redirects to /data?ingest=unstructured — same flow.

What happens next

• Zip folder layout guide
• Lake overview
• Unstructured APIs for one-off text/image calls without Lake

Common questions

Can I skip gold and train directly from bronze?
No. Publish gold from Lake for ML or Forecast training. Bronze is raw ingest; gold passes validation checks.

Vision / Read APIs
For single-request text or image analysis without the lake, see the Unstructured suite.
