What is Meerschaum?
Meerschaum is a tool for quickly synchronizing time-series data streams called pipes. With Meerschaum, you can have a data visualization stack running in minutes.
Why Meerschaum?
Two words: incremental updates. Fetch the data you need, and Meerschaum will handle the rest.
If you've worked with time-series data, you know the headaches that come with ETL. Data engineering often gets in analysts' way, and when work needs to get done, every minute spent on pipelining is time taken away from real analysis.
Rather than copy / pasting your ETL scripts, simply build pipes with Meerschaum! Meerschaum gives you the tools to design your data streams how you like ― and don't worry — you can always incorporate Meerschaum into your existing systems!

Installation
For a more thorough setup guide, visit the Getting Started page at meerschaum.io.
TL;DR
pip install -U --user meerschaum
mrsm stack up -d db grafana
mrsm bootstrap pipes
Usage
Please visit meerschaum.io for setup, usage, and troubleshooting information. You can find technical documentation at docs.meerschaum.io, and here is a complete list of the Meerschaum actions.
CLI
### Install the NOAA weather plugin.
mrsm install plugin noaa
### Register a new pipe to the built-in SQLite DB.
### You can instead run `bootstrap pipe` for a wizard.
### Enter 'KATL' for Atlanta when prompted.
mrsm register pipe -c plugin:noaa -m weather -l atl -i sql:local
### Pull data and create the table "plugin_noaa_weather_atl".
mrsm sync pipes -l atl -i sql:local
Python API
import meerschaum as mrsm
pipe = mrsm.Pipe(
'foo', 'bar', ### Connector and metric labels.
target = 'MyTableName!', ### Table name. Defaults to 'foo_bar'.
instance = 'sql:local', ### Built-in SQLite DB. Defaults to 'sql:main'.
columns = {
'datetime': 'dt', ### Column for the datetime index.
'id' : 'id', ### Column for the ID index (optional).
},
)
### Pass a DataFrame to create the table and indices.
pipe.sync([{'dt': '2022-07-01', 'id': 1, 'val': 10}])
### Duplicate rows are ignored.
pipe.sync([{'dt': '2022-07-01', 'id': 1, 'val': 10}])
assert len(pipe.get_data()) == 1
### Rows with existing keys (datetime and/or id) are updated.
pipe.sync([{'dt': '2022-07-01', 'id': 1, 'val': 100}])
assert len(pipe.get_data()) == 1
### Translates to this query for SQLite:
###
### SELECT *
### FROM "MyTableName!"
### WHERE "dt" >= datetime('2022-01-01', '0 minute')
### AND "dt" < datetime('2023-01-01', '0 minute')
### AND "id" IN ('1')
df = pipe.get_data(
begin = '2022-01-01',
end = '2023-01-01',
params = {'id': [1]},
)
### Shape of the DataFrame:
### dt id val
### 0 2022-07-01 1 100
### Drop the table and remove the pipe's metadata.
pipe.delete()
Simple Plugin
# ~/.config/plugins/example.py
__version__ = '1.0.0'
required = ['requests']
def register(pipe, **kw):
return {
'columns': {
'datetime': 'dt',
'id' : 'id',
},
}
def fetch(pipe, **kw):
import requests, datetime, random
response = requests.get('http://date.jsontest.com/')
### The fetched JSON has the following shape:
### {
### "date": "07-01-2022",
### "milliseconds_since_epoch": 1656718801566,
### "time": "11:40:01 PM"
### }
data = response.json()
timestamp = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(
int(str(data['milliseconds_since_epoch'])[:-3])
)
### You may also return a Pandas DataFrame.
return [{
"dt" : timestamp,
"id" : random.randint(1, 4),
"value": random.uniform(1, 100),
}]
