pydov 1.0.0

A Python package to download data from Databank Ondergrond Vlaanderen (DOV).

pydov

pydov is a Python package to query and download data from Databank Ondergrond Vlaanderen (DOV). It is hosted on GitHub and development is coordinated by Databank Ondergrond Vlaanderen (DOV). DOV aggregates data about soil, subsoil and groundwater of Flanders and makes them publicly available. Interactive and human-readable extraction and querying of the data is provided by a web application, whereas the focus of this package is to support machine-based extraction and conversion of the data.

To get started, see the documentation at https://pydov.readthedocs.io.
