antwerpen 1.1.0

Asynchronous Python client providing Open Data information of Antwerpen

Asynchronous Python client for the open datasets of Antwerpen (Belgium).

About

A python package with which you can retrieve data from the Open Data Platform of Antwerpen via their API. This package was initially created to only retrieve parking data from the API, but the code base is made in such a way that it is easy to extend for other datasets from the same platform.

Installation

pip install antwerpen

This Python project relies on Poetry as its dependency manager, providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• Poetry

Installation

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages.

This repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:

poetry run pre-commit install

And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:

poetry run pytest
