Configuration

Use with a proxy

This Python package uses requests, which is able to work with a proxy (HTTP/HTTPS, SOCKS). For more information, please check its documentation.

Customize the API base URL

If you plan to use a local Web API, running on the port 5000, you'll need to use the api_base_url parameter of the fetch_* functions, like this:

df = fetch_series(
    api_base_url='http://localhost:5000',
    provider_code='AMECO',
    dataset_code='ZUTN',
)

Or globally change the default API URL used by the dbnomics module, like this:

import dbnomics
dbnomics.default_api_base_url = "http://localhost:5000"
