Data types

A type of financial data

In Codat, each type of data you want to create, update, or retrieve for a given company from a data source is represented by a data type. It has a defined schema with known properties and validation rules.

The data types you use will depend on the Codat product you use. For reference, our Lending API offers the broadest range of data types.
