dsslab-wdc-client 0.13.0

A small client for the WDC-Rest-API.

Description

This project includes a very small client to access data form the WebDataCollector-API. It is meant to provide a simple means of accessing the data in Json or as Panda-DataFrames.

Usage

from dsslab.wdc_client import *

# Somehow initialize environment variables for 
# "WDC_HOST" and "WDC_TOKEN". 
load_dotenv()

client = WDCClient.fromEnv()
df = client.loadAsDataFrame(
	'api/endpoint...', {'param1', 'value will be encoded'})

For more information about the client and usable endpoints, see the project homepage of WDC or directly consult the Documentation.
