PyKolada

A Python wrapper for the statistical API Kolada.

Overview

This Python package provides a lightweight wrapper for the Kolada API, which allows users to access and interact with key performance indicators (KPIs) for Swedish municipalities and organizational units. The Kolada database, maintained by RKA (Rådet för kommunal analys), offers a rich set of data, and this wrapper simplifies the process of querying and retrieving this information.

• Support for querying data based on different parameters such as ID, title, description, operating area, year, etc.
• Handling of pagination to fetch all relevant data.
• Customizable queries with support for filtering and specifying primary keys.

Installation

This package requires Python 3.8 or higher. You can install it using pip:

pip install pykolada

Usage

Importing the Module

• municipality
• municipality_groups

Each endpoint supports different parameters for querying. Please refer to the documentation for detailed information.
