udlai 0.6.1

UDL.AI Python interface

UDL.AI Python API

udlai is a way of interacting with the UDL.AI platform for location intelligence using a convenient Python API.

Note, that to use the udlai, you will need to obtain an access token. See udl.ai for details.

Installation

udlai can be installed either from PyPI or conda-forge.

pip install udlai

Or

conda install -c conda-forge udlai
# or alternatively
mamba install -c conda-forge udlai

Features

In the near future, udlai will offer a convenient interface to all parts of the UDL.AI platform. At the moment, only the feature API module is available, allowing you to retrieve data from the UDL.AI data warehouse.

Feature API

Using the token received from UDL you will be able to perform the following tasks:

Fetch the list of attributes

Get a list of all of the attributes the user has access to, completed with their metadata and description.
