istacpy 0.7.0

Python package for obtaining open data from Instituto Canario de Estadística (ISTAC)

istacpy is a Python package for obtaining open data from Instituto Canario de Estadística (ISTAC). It provides a wrapper to the open API catalog.

Installation

pip install istacpy

Usage

The package is divided into several modules depending on the resource you want to retrieve.

Indicators

Example 1: Get a list of all available indicators:

>>> from istacpy.indicators import indicators
>>> indicators.get_indicators()

Example 2: Get a list of geographic granularities treated in the ISTAC-indicators database. For example provincial, insular or municipal granularity:

>>> from istacpy.indicators import geographic
>>> geographic.get_indicators_geographic_granularities()

istacpy.indicators.lite

This is a lite version of the rest of the indicators API. It’s a kind of wrapper to facilitate the access to indicators data. It’s not as powerful as the above functions but it hides a lot of the business logic of the API, so it’s quite suitable to quickly retrieve information.

Example: Get (absolute yearly) population of Lanzarote municipalities between 2010 and 2020:

>>> from istacpy.indicators.lite import indicators

>>> indicator = indicators.get_indicator('POBLACION')
>>> data = indicator.get_data(geo='M|Lanzarote', time='Y|2010:2020')

>>> data.as_dataframe()
