A simple data ingestion library to guide data flows from some places to other places.

Getting Data from a Source

Viadot supports several API and RDBMS sources, private and public. Currently, we support the UK Carbon Intensity public API and base the examples on it.

from viadot.sources.uk_carbon_intensity import UKCarbonIntensity

ukci = UKCarbonIntensity()
ukci.query("/intensity")
df = ukci.to_df()

print(df)

Output:

	from	to	forecast	actual	index
0	2021-08-10T11:00Z	2021-08-10T11:30Z	211	216	moderate

The above df is a pandas DataFrame object. It contains data downloaded by viadot from the Carbon Intensity UK API.

Loading data to a destination

Depending on the destination, viadot provides different methods of uploading data. For instance, for databases, this would be bulk inserts. For data lakes, it would be file uploads.

For example:

from viadot.sources import UKCarbonIntensity
from viadot.sources import AzureDataLake

ukci = UKCarbonIntensity()
ukci.query("/intensity")
df = ukci.to_df()

adls = AzureDataLake(config_key="my_adls_creds")
adls.from_df(df, "my_folder/my_file.parquet")

Getting started

Prerequisites

We use Rye. You can install it like so:

curl -sSf https://rye.astral.sh/get | bash

Installation

pip install viadot2

Configuration

In order to start using sources, you must configure them with required credentials. Credentials can be specified either in the viadot config file (by default, $HOME/.config/viadot/config.yaml), or passed directly to each source's credentials parameter.

You can find specific information about each source's credentials in the documentation.
