datacommons 1.4.2

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.

See also: Data Commons Pandas API.

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.

When you are 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 on our tutorials page!

Development

The Python API currently supports python>=2.7.

To test, run:

$ ./run_tests_local.sh

To debug the continuous integration tests, run:

$ cloud-build-local --config=cloudbuild.yaml --dryrun=false .

Both commands will run the same set of tests.

To run the examples:

$ python -m datacommons.examples.XXX

where XXX is the module you want to run.

Release to PyPI

Note: Always release datacommons_pandas when datacommons is released. See the datacommons_pandas README.

If this is your first time releasing to PyPI, please review the PyPI guide starting from the setup section.

Summary:

Test on TestPyPI

Similar to regular PyPI release, except:

1. Append "-USERNAME" to the package "NAME". For example, NAME = 'datacommons-foobar'.
2. Increment the "VERSION" code to something that has not been used in your test project. This will not affect the production PyPI versioning.

Here are some helpful commands:

• Build the dist

  python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools wheel
  python3 setup_datacommons.py sdist bdist_wheel
  

• Release the dist to TestPyPI.

  python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade twine
  python3 -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
  

Release to Production PyPI

• Double check "VERSION" in setup_datacommons.py
• Update CHANGELOG.md for a new version
• Clear the dist folder: rm dist/*
• Build the dist

  python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools wheel
  python3 setup_datacommons.py sdist bdist_wheel
  

• Release the dist to TestPyPI.

  python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade twine
  twine upload dist/*
