OpenDataSoft Explorer

The OpenDataSoftCatExplorer class provides methods for exploring OpenDataSoft-based data catalogues.

Creating an OpenDataSoft Explorer​

import HerdingCats as hc

with hc.CatSession(hc.OpenDataSoftDataCatalogues.UK_POWER_NETWORKS) as session:
    explorer = hc.OpenDataSoftCatExplorer(session)

Available Methods​

Basic Catalogue Information​

# Check the health of the OpenDataSoft site
health = explorer.check_site_health()

Dataset Discovery​

# Retrieve all datasets from an OpenDataSoft catalogue
datasets = explorer.fetch_all_datasets()

Dataset Details​

# Get detailed metadata about a specific dataset
dataset_info = explorer.show_dataset_info("dataset_id")

# Get available export formats and download URLs
export_options = explorer.show_dataset_export_options("dataset_id")
