ZAPINNER

Consistency API

Reports per-field type consistency: each column's dominant type and the share of values that agree with it, flagging columns that mix types (e.g. numbers and free text). Deterministic; billed per credit.

What it does

Report each column's dominant type and how much data agrees.

When to use it

Reach for Consistency when you need to answer: “Are my columns type-consistent?” It sits in the Detect stage of the catalog — surface anomalies and revenue exposure.

Endpoint & cost

POST /api/v1/consistency

Cost: Per credit. Zaps draw down your shared monthly allowance; requests that fail validation are not charged.

Authentication

Send your key as a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer zap_live_…. See Authentication for key management and the alternate header.

Example request

curl https://zapinner.com/api/v1/consistency \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zap_live_••••••" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"records":[{"amount":"100"},{"amount":"abc"}]}'
Every response is structured JSON and includes a request_id. Full field-level request and response schemas for this endpoint live in the OpenAPI spec and the API reference.

Errors & limits

Errors use one consistent shape ( error.code, error.message, request_id). See Errors and Rate limits.

SDK

Consistency has typed methods in both the JavaScript and Python SDKs. Both are implemented and package-ready but not yet published to npm / PyPI — until they ship, vendor the package source or install from a git ref, or call the endpoint over HTTPS with the example above.

Try it

Select Consistency in the playground to see the request, or run it live with your API key.
