Retrieving Data

You can get the entire data with the code below. This function returns List of dict by default.

client = AltaDataAPI(YOUR_API_KEY)
data = client.get_data(PRODUCT_CODE).load()

We currently have pandas dataframe support in the library. Users can optionally retrieve their datasets as pandas dataframe. If dataframe_functionality parameter is True function returns pandas dataframe.

Note: This functionality requires pandas (v0.21 or above) to work.

client = AltaDataAPI(api_key=YOUR_API_KEY, dataframe_functionality=True)
data = client.get_data(PRODUCT_CODE).load()

You can get data with using various conditions.

client = AltaDataAPI(YOUR_API_KEY)
data = client.get_data(PRODUCT_CODE)\
        .equal(condition_column=COLUMN_NAME, condition_value=CONDITION_VALUE)\
        .sort(order_column=COLUMN_NAME, order_method="desc")\
        .load()
