data.json

Category: 360, 3D and output formats

data.json is the file in a PhotoRobot item export that carries the item's structured metadata, the OCR-extracted text and references to folders and frames. Integrators use it to move data into downstream systems.

How PhotoRobot uses it

Integrators read it in post-export pipelines to push data to DAM, ERP or e-commerce systems. It is the way to get OCR results: OCR has no real-time API, so the text arrives in the extractedOcrData field. See the item export manual.
