kaggle 1.7.4.5

Access Kaggle resources anywhere

Kaggle API

Official API for https://www.kaggle.com, accessible using a command line tool implemented in Python 3.

User documentation

Installation

Ensure you have Python 3 and the package manager pip installed.

Run the following command to access the Kaggle API using the command line:

pip install kaggle

Development

Kaggle Internal

Obviously, this depends on Kaggle services. When you're extending the API and modifying or adding to those services, you should be working in your Kaggle mid-tier development environment. You'll run Kaggle locally, in the container, and test the Python code by running it in the container so it can connect to your local testing environment.

Also, run the following command to get autogen.sh installed:

rm -rf /tmp/autogen && mkdir -p /tmp/autogen && unzip -qo /tmp/autogen.zip -d /tmp/autogen &&
mv /tmp/autogen/autogen-*/* /tmp/autogen && rm -rf /tmp/autogen/autogen-* &&
sudo chmod a+rx /tmp/autogen/autogen.sh

Prerequisites

We use hatch to manage this project.

Follow these instructions to install it.

If you are working in a managed environment, you may want to use pipx. If it isn't already installed try sudo apt install pipx. Then you should be able to proceed with pipx install hatch.

Dependencies

hatch run install-deps

Compile

hatch run compile

The compiled files are generated in the kaggle/ directory from the src/ directory.

All the changes must be done in the src/ directory.

Run

You can also run the code in python directly:

hatch run python

import kaggle
from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi
api = KaggleApi()
api.authenticate()
api.model_list_cli()

Next Page Token = [...]
[...]

Or in a single command:

hatch run python -c "import kaggle; from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi; api = KaggleApi(); api.authenticate(); api.model_list_cli()"

Example

Let's change the model_list_cli method in the source file:

❯ git diff src/kaggle/api/kaggle_api_extended.py
[...]
+        print('hello Kaggle CLI update')^M
         models = self.model_list(sort_by, search, owner, page_size, page_token)
[...]

❯ hatch run compile
[...]

❯ hatch run python -c "import kaggle; from kaggle.api.kaggle_api_extended import KaggleApi; api = KaggleApi(); api.authenticate(); api.model_list_cli()"
hello Kaggle CLI update
Next Page Token = [...]

Integration Tests

To run integration tests on your local machine, you need to set up your Kaggle API credentials. You can do this in one of these two ways described this doc. Refer to the sections:

• Using environment variables
• Using credentials file

After setting up your credentials by any of these methods, you can run the integration tests as follows:

# Run all tests
hatch run integration-test
