datacommons 1.4.0

A library to access Data Commons Python API.

Data Commons Python API

This is a Python library for accessing data in the Data Commons Graph. To get started, install this package from pip.

pip install datacommons

Once the package is installed, import datacommons.

import datacommons as dc

If you would like to provide an API key, follow the steps in Setting up access to the Data Commons API, add the following line to your code:

dc.set_api_key('YOUR-API-KEY')

Data Commons does not charge users, but uses the API key for understanding API usage.

For more detail on getting started with the API, please visit our API Overview.

After you're ready to use the API, you can refer to datacommons/examples for examples on how to use this package to perform various tasks. More tutorials and documentation can be found at tutorials!
