About

Worldometer is a python module that collects data from worldometers.info and provides a simple and self-explanatory interface for using the data.

worldometers.info

Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. It is published by a small and independent digital media company based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation. Furthermore, we have no investors, donors, grants, or backers of any type. We are completely independent and self-financed through automated programmatic advertising sold in real time on multiple ad exchanges.

How it works?

[Adapted]: For the data, is elaborate instead a real-time estimate through a proprietary algorithm which processes the latest data and projections provided by the most reputable organizations and statistical offices in the world.

Install

First, create a directory and enter it:

$ mkdir my_project && cd my_project

Create a virtual environment to avoid breaking dependence on other projects.

This project uses pipenv, it already does it alone ;)

$ pipenv install worldometer

But you can use virtualenv + pip if you prefer:

$ virtualenv venv && source venv/Scripts/activate

Now install:

$ pip install worldometer

Demo

The first time you run any function/method or class, it will download Chromium to its home directory (for example, ~/.pyppeteer/). It only happens once.

After, it will only open the chromium to render the contents of worldometers.

Simple API usage:

>>> import worldometer

>>> worldometer.current_world_population()
7845085923

>>> worldometer.tweets_sent_today()
4539558

>>> worldometer.get_metric_of(label='computers_produced_this_year')
27760858

Or complete use with Worldometer Class:

>>> from worldometer import Worldometer
>>> w = Worldometer()

>>> w.what_is_here()
{'categories': 8, 'labels': 63, 'metrics': 63}

>>> w.categories()
[   
    'world_population',
    'government_and_economics',
    'society_and_media',
    ...  # compressed
]

>>> w.metrics_labels()
[   
    'current_world_population',
    'births_this_year',
    'births_today',
    'deaths_this_year',
    'deaths_today',
    'net_population_growth_this_year',
    ...  # compressed
]

>>> w.metrics
[   
    7845087963,
    15741371,
    5676,
    6608605,
    2383,
    9132766,
    ...  # compressed
]

>>> w.metrics_with_labels()
{   
    'abortions_this_year': 4785492,
    'bicycles_produced_this_year': 17070566,
    'births_this_year': 15741371,
    'births_today': 5676,

    'cars_produced_this_year': 8999185,
    'cellular_phones_sold_today': 98846,
