strato-query 3.9.1

StratoDem Analytics API tools

Strato-Query

tools to help create queries to StratoDem's API

Installation and usage

Python:

$ pip install strato-query

R:

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github('StratoDem/strato-query')

Authentication

strato_query looks for an API_TOKEN environment variable.

# Example passing a StratoDem Analytics API token to a Python file using the API
$ API_TOKEN=my-api-token-here python examples/examples.py

Median household income for 80+ households across the US, by year

Python:

from strato_query.base_API_query import *
from strato_query.standard_filters import *


# Finds median household income in the US for those 80+ from 2010 to 2013
df = BaseAPIQuery.query_api_df(
    query_params=APIMedianQueryParams(
        query_type='MEDIAN',
        table='incomeforecast_us_annual_income_group_age',
        data_fields=('year', {'median_value': 'median_income'}),
        median_variable_name='income_g',
        data_filters=(
            GtrThanOrEqFilter(var='age_g', val=17).to_dict(),
            BetweenFilter(var='year', val=[2010, 2013]).to_dict(),
        ),
        groupby=('year',),
        order=('year',),
        aggregations=(),
    )
)

print('Median US household income 80+:')
print(df.head())

R:

library(stRatoquery)


# Finds median household income in the US for those 80+ from 2010 to 2013
df = submit_api_query(
  query = median_query_params(
    table = 'incomeforecast_us_annual_income_group_age',
    data_fields = api_fields(fields_list = list('year', 'geoid2', list(median_value = 'median_hhi'))),

    median_variable_name='income_g',
    aggregations=list()
  ),
  apiToken = 'my-api-token-here')

print('Median US household income 80+:')
print(head(df))

Output:
