Summary
IngressKit is a new API plugin designed to streamline data normalization by cleaning and mapping CSV/Excel uploads, harmonizing webhook payloads, and standardizing JSON output from AI models and third-party APIs into strict schemas. It uses deterministic normalization, improves per tenant over time, and provides an audit trail for changes, addressing common challenges in integrating messy data sources. This tool could enhance reliability and efficiency in AI workflows by simplifying data preprocessing and integration.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewritten CSV importers and webhook parsers over the years. I built IngressKit to handle that once and for all. It’s an API plugin that: Cleans & maps CSV/Excel uploads to your schema. Harmonizes webhook payloads (Stripe, GitHub, Slack, etc.) into one predictable format. Normalizes JSON output from LLMs or third-party APIs to a strict schema. Key details: Deterministic — not probabilistic — normalization. Per-tenant memory so it gets better over time. Audit trail for every change. Quick example: curl -X POST "https://api.ingresskit.com/v1/json/normalize?schema=contacts" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"Email":"USER@EXAMPLE.COM","Phone":"(555) 123-4567","Name":" Doe, Jane "}' → Returns perfectly normalized JSON with consistent keys, formatting, and validation.
