Features

• 🔎 Discover datasets with validated, human-friendly filters
• ⚡ Preview result pages before full downloads
• 🗺️ Spatial selection (GeoJSON/WKT)
• 🧭 Two clients: synchronous EcoPlots and asynchronous AsyncEcoPlots
• 💾 Save / load projects via .ecoproj for reproducible workflows

Documentation: https://terndata-ecoplots.readthedocs.io

Quick start

from terndata.ecoplots import EcoPlots

ec = EcoPlots()
ec.select(site_id="TCFTNS0002")    # add validated filters
preview = ec.preview().head()      # quick look (first page)
gdf = ec.get_data()                # full pull (GeoDataFrame)

Async

import asyncio
from terndata.ecoplots import AsyncEcoPlots

async def main():
    ec = AsyncEcoPlots()
    ec.select(site_id="TCFTNS0002")
    gdf = await ec.get_data()
    return gdf

# asyncio.run(main())
