Catalogs (dataderden)
There are multiple ways to retrieve data from catalogs other than 'opendata.cbs.nl'. The code below shows 3 different ways to retrieve data from the catalog 'dataderden.cbs.nl' (known from Iv3).
On module level.
cbsodata.options.catalog_url = 'dataderden.cbs.nl'
# list tables
cbsodata.get_table_list()
# get dataset 47003NED
cbsodata.get_data('47003NED')
With context managers.
with cbsodata.catalog('dataderden.cbs.nl'):
# list tables
cbsodata.get_table_list()
# get dataset 47003NED
cbsodata.get_data('47003NED')
As a function argument.
# list tables
cbsodata.get_table_list(catalog_url='dataderden.cbs.nl')
# get dataset 47003NED
cbsodata.get_data('47003NED', catalog_url='dataderden.cbs.nl')
Pandas users
The package works well with Pandas. Convert the result easily into a pandas DataFrame with the code below.
>>> data = pandas.DataFrame(cbsodata.get_data('82070ENG'))
>>> data.head()
The list of tables can be turned into a pandas DataFrame as well.
>>> tables = pandas.DataFrame(cbsodata.get_table_list())
>>> tables.head()
