odp-amsterdam 6.1.1

Asynchronous Python client providing Open Data information of Amsterdam

Asynchronous Python client for the open datasets of Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

About

A python package with which you can retrieve data from the Open Data Platform of Amsterdam via their API. This package was initially created to only retrieve parking data from the API, but the code base is made in such a way that it is easy to extend for other datasets from the same platform.

Installation

pip install odp-amsterdam

Datasets

You can read the following datasets with this package:

• Parking garages occupancy / Garages parkeerbezetting (53 garages)
• Parking locations / Parkeervakken

Parking garages

Read the occupancy of a garage in Amsterdam (The Netherlands), both for day visitors (short-term parking) and season ticket holders (long-term parking). The dataset gives garages for 🚲 bicycles (we ❤️ bikes) and for 🚗 cars

NOTE: Not all garages have data for long-term parking.

You can use the following parameters in your request:

• vehicle - Filter based on the type of vehicle that can park in the garage (car, bicycle or touringcar).
• category - Filter based on the category of the garage (garage or park_and_ride).

Variable	Type	Description
garage_id	string	The id of the garage
garage_name	string	The name of the garage
vehicle	string	The type of vehicle that can park in the garage
category	string	The category of the garage (garage or park_and_ride)
state	string	The state of the garage (ok or problem)
free_space_short	integer	The number of free spaces for day visitors
free_space_long	integer (or None)	The number of free spaces for season ticket holders
short_capacity	integer	The total capacity of the garage for day visitors
long_capacity	integer (or None)	The total capacity of the garage for season ticket holders
availability_pct	float	The percentage of free parking spaces
longitude	float	The longitude of the garage
latitude	float	The latitude of the garage
updated_at	datetime	The last time the data was updated

Parking locations

You can use the following parameters in your request:

• limit (default: 10) - How many results you want to retrieve.
• parking_type (default: "") - Filter based on the eType from the geojson data.

Variable	Type	Description
spot_id	string	The id of the location
spot_type	string (or None)	The type of the location (e.g. E6a)
spot_description	string (or None)	The description of the location type
street	string (or None)	The street name of the location
number	integer (or None)	How many parking spots there are on this location
orientation	string (or None)	The parking orientation of the location (visgraag, langs or file)
coordinates	list[float]	The coordinates of the location

Usage

import asyncio

from odp_amsterdam import ODPAmsterdam


async def main():
    """Show example on using the ODP Amsterdam API client."""
    async with ODPAmsterdam() as client:
        # Parking locations
        locations: list[ParkingSpot] = await client.location(
            limit=5, parking_type="E6a"
        )

        # Garages
        all_garages: list[Garage] = await client.all_garages()
        garage: Garage = await client.garage(garage_id="ID_OF_GARAGE")

        print(locations)
        print(all_garages)
        print(garage)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Use cases

NIPKaart.nl

A website that provides insight into where disabled parking spaces are, based on data from users and municipalities. Operates mainly in the Netherlands, but also has plans to process data from abroad.

This Python project relies on Poetry as its dependency manager, providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• Poetry

Installation

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages.

Pre-commit

This repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. To setup the pre-commit check, run:

poetry run pre-commit install

And to run all checks and tests manually, use the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

Testing

It uses pytest as the test framework. To run the tests:

poetry run pytest

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
