Carerix Datasource

Datasource | Data lake | BI | Business Intelligence | Reporting | KPI

The Carerix Datasource is a daily export of your Carerix data. It offers you easy access to your data, for use in a BI tool such as PowerBI, Tableau or Qlik. Two versions are available: Datasource 1.0 and Datasource 2.0.

Datasource 1.0

The original version of the Datasource delivers your data as separate CSV files.

  • Contains a FileID column

  • Date format: European, for example 26/02/2026 13:23:00

  • Decimal separator: comma (,)

  • Extremely large values (for example in additional info fields) may be skipped by the export

Datasource 2.0

The newer version of the Datasource delivers your data as a compressed archive: a .tgz file (Unix/Linux) and a .zip file (Windows/macOS). Each archive contains a readme.txt with an overview of the changes compared to Datasource 1.0.

  • No FileID column

  • Date format: ISO 8601, for example 2026-02-26 13:23:00

  • Decimal separator: dot (.)

  • Empty value: shown as "" instead of an empty/NULL value

  • Unlike datasource 1.0, extremely large field values are also exported normally

  • Available earlier, usually from 02:00.

Both versions are currently available. Where possible, we recommend switching to Datasource 2.0.

Features (both versions)

  • Fresh every day: the files with the previous day's data are ready from 6:00 at the latest. Thursday's data, for example, is available by 6:00 on Friday at the latest.

  • More than 80 files, one per entity/table.

  • The file names stay the same and are overwritten daily with a new date.

  • Additional/custom fields are included by default, as a separate column, in files such as Cruser, Crvacancy and Crcompany.

Please note: additional info fields can be very long because of text fields. MaxVarcharSize = 3000.

Retrieving the files

Both versions can be retrieved via FTPS and via Amazon S3. S3 is strongly preferred. See our article Retrieving/connecting the Carerix Datasource for the technical steps per method.
