arnhem 1.0.0

Asynchronous Python client providing Open Data information of Arnhem

Asynchronous Python client for the open datasets of Arnhem (The Netherlands).

About

A python package with which you can retrieve data from the Open Data Platform of Arnhem 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 arnhem

street	string	The street where the parking spot is located
traffic_sign	string	The traffic sign at the parking spot

Example

import asyncio

from arnhem import ODPArnhem


async def main() -> None:
    """Show example on using the Open Data Platform API of Arnhem."""
    async with ODPArnhem() as client:
        locations = await client.locations(limit=100, set_filter="RVV_SOORT='E6a'")
        print(locations)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Use cases

NIPKaart.nl

A website that provides insight into where disabled parking spaces are, based on data from users and municipalities (open data platforms). Operates mainly in the Netherlands, but since summer 2022 also processes data from countries throughout Europe.

Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.

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.

Pre-commit

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

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
