Examples

import rechtspraak_extractor as rex

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# For rechtspraak

# To get the rechtspraak data in a dataframe:
df = rex.get_rechtspraak(max_ecli=100, sd='2022-08-01', save_file='n')  # Gets 100 ECLIs from 1st August 2022

# To save rechtspraak data as a CSV file:
rex.get_rechtspraak(max_ecli=100, sd='2022-08-01', save_file='y') 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# For rechtspraak metadata

# To get metadata as a dataframe from rechtspraak data (as a dataframe):
df_metadata = rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='n', dataframe=df)

# To get metadata as a dataframe from rechtspraak file (as a dataframe):
df_metadata = rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='n', filename='rechtspraak.csv')

# To get metadata as a dataframe from rechtspraak data (saved as CSV file):
rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='y', dataframe=df)

# To get metadata and save as a CSV file:
rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='y', filename='rechtspraak.csv')

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# filename='rechtspraak.csv' - filename.csv is a file from the data folder created by get_rechtspraak method
# dataframe=df - df is a dataframe created by get_rechtspraak method

# Will not get any metadata
df = rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='n')

# Will get the metadata of all the files in the data folder
rex.get_rechtspraak_metadata(save_file='y')
