Example Python Usage

import absorb

# collect dataset and save as local files
absorb.collect('kalshi')

# list datasets that are collected or available
datasets = absorb.list()

# get schemas of dataset
schema = absorb.schema('kalshi')

# load dataset as polars DataFrame
df = absorb.load('kalshi')

# scan dataset as polars LazyFrame
lf = absorb.scan('kalshi')

# create new custom dataset

To list all available datasets and data sources, type absorb ls on the command line.

Output Format

To display information about the schema and other metadata of a dataset, type absorb help <DATASET> on the command line.

absorb stores each dataset as a collection of parquet files.

Datasets can be stored in any location on your disks, and absorb will use symlinks to organize those files in the TRUCK_ROOT tree.

the TRUCK_ROOT filesystem directory is organized as:

{TRUCK_ROOT}/
    datasets/
        <source>/
            tables/
                <datatype>/
                    {filename}.parquet
                table_metadata.json
            repos/
                {repo_name}/
    absorb_config.json

Configuration

absorb uses a config file to specify which datasets to track.

Schema of absorb_config.json:

{
    'tracked_tables': list[TrackedTable]
}

schema of dataset_config.json:

{
    "name": str,
    "definition": str,
    "parameters": dict[str, Any],
    "repos": [str]
}
