5A. [Repositories] Working with Raw Files in Code Repositories4. Identify Your Raw Data

4 - Identify Your Raw Data

This content is also available at learn.palantir.com ↗ and is presented here for accessibility purposes.

Your Foundry environment contains the raw JSON and CSV files you’ll be accessing. In this task, you’ll use your repository’s Foundry Explorer helper to locate and explore the data.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. Click the Foundry Explorer item in the helper bar across the bottom of your application.

  2. Use the window on the left section of the helper to navigate to /Foundry Training & Resources/Example Projects/[Datasource] Passengers/datasets/raw.

    • The explorer window shows two items in the folder: passenger_flight_alerts_csv_raw and passengers_json_raw.
  3. Click the passengers_json_raw item in the explorer window.

Typically, datasets displayed in the Foundry Explorer helper appear with their rows, columns, and schema as shown in the expandable image below.

In the case of raw files, however, we see that the dataset is merely a container for a raw JSON file (and CSV in the case of passenger_flight_alerts_csv_raw).
