unifier 0.1.16

A Python package to interact with the Unifier API.

Unifier

Unifier is a Python package that provides a simple interface to interact with the Unifier API, allowing for Point-In-Time and streaming data access.

Features

• Query the Unifier API for data.
• Retrieve data in JSON format.
• Convert API responses into pandas DataFrames for easy data manipulation and analysis.
• Efficiently replicate large datasets to local storage using rclone integration.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install unifier

To use the Data Replication feature, you must also install rclone.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use the unifier package:

from unifier import unifier

# Set your user and token
unifier.user = 'your_username'
unifier.token = 'your_api_token'

# Query the API
response = unifier.query(name='your_dataset_name')

# Convert the response to a DataFrame
df = unifier.get_dataframe(name='your_dataset_name')

print(df.head())

# Get list asof_date available for a dataset
dates_df = unifier.get_asof_dates(name='dataset_name')
print(dates_df.head())

# Replicate a large dataset to a local folder
# Note: rclone must be installed on your system
unifier.replicate(
    name="large_dataset_name",
    target_location="./data/downloads",
    back_to="2023-01-01",    # Optional: fetch history back to this date
    up_to="2024-12-16",    # Optional: fetch history up to this date
    bandwidth_limit=20       # Optional: limit download speed to 20MB/s
)

Configuration

Before using the package, ensure you set your user and token attributes in the unifier class to authenticate with the API.
