pydtm 0.0.10

A Python library for the IOM DTM API

PyDTM

pydtm is a Python toolkit designed to interact with IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) API using the requests package. The DTM API enables the humanitarian community, academia, media, government, and non-governmental organizations to access data collected by DTM. This data includes non-sensitive figures of internally displaced persons (IDPs), aggregated at various administrative levels.

Installation

pydtm is available on PyPi. You can install it using pip:

pip install pydtm

Usage

Here's a basic example to get you started:

import pydtm

# Query country level data for Yemen from January 2000 to December 2023
from pydtm.api import countryLevelData
response_country = countryLevelData(admin0Pcode="YEM", monthFrom_month= "1", monthFrom_year=2000, monthTo_month= "12", monthTo_year=2023, to_pandas=True)
print(response_country)

# Query admin1 level data for Yemen from January 2000 to December 2023
from pydtm.api import admin1LevelData
response_admin1 = admin1LevelData(admin0Pcode="YEM", monthFrom_month= "1", monthFrom_year=2000, monthTo_month= "12", monthTo_year=2023, to_pandas=True)
print(response_admin1)

# Query admin2 level data for Yemen from January 2000 to December 2023
from pydtm.api import admin2LevelData
response_admin2 = admin2LevelData(admin0Pcode="YEM", monthFrom_month= "1", monthFrom_year=2000, monthTo_month= "12", monthTo_year=2023, to_pandas=True)
print(response_admin2)
