Overview

This endpoint adds columns to an existing table. It is the normal way to grow a workflow step by step instead of locking the full schema upfront. This works especially well when you:
  • start with a minimal table and add enrichment later
  • test a few columns before rolling out the full workflow
  • add new scoring or research fields to a table that already has data

​
Example request

export EXTRUCT_API_TOKEN="YOUR_API_TOKEN"
export TABLE_ID="YOUR_TABLE_ID"

curl -X POST "https://api.extruct.ai/v1/tables/${TABLE_ID}/columns" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${EXTRUCT_API_TOKEN}" \
  -d '{
    "column_configs": [
      {
        "kind": "agent",
        "name": "Description",
        "key": "description",
        "value": {
          "agent_type": "research_pro",
          "prompt": "Describe what the company does in 2 sentences.",
          "output_format": "text"
        }
      }
    ],
    "insert_after": true
  }'

​
