VortexaSDK

CircleCI Code style: black All Contributors

Welcome to Vortexa's Python Software Development Kit (SDK)! We built the SDK to provide fast, interactive, programmatic exploration of our data. The tool lets Data Scientists, Analysts and Developers efficiently explore the world’s waterborne oil movements, and to build custom models & reports with minimum setup cost.

The SDK sits as a thin python wrapper around Vortexa's API, giving you immediate access to pandas DataFrames.

Example

In an interactive Python console, run:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from vortexasdk import CargoMovements
>>> df = CargoMovements()\
        .search(filter_activity='loading_state',
            filter_time_min=datetime(2017, 8, 2),
            filter_time_max=datetime(2017, 8, 3))\
        .to_df()

returns:

Quick Start

Try me out in your browser:

Binder

Installation
$ pip install vortexasdk

or

$ pip3 install vortexasdk

The SDK requires Python versions between 3.7 and 3.10. See Setup FAQ for more details.

To install the SDK on an Apple ARM-based machine, use Python versions between 3.7 and 3.10 and use the latest version of pip. This is supported in the SDK versions 0.41.0 or higher.

Authentication

Set your VORTEXA_API_KEY environment variable, that's all. Alternatively, the SDK prompts to you enter your API Key when running a script interactively.

To get an API key and experiment with Vortexa's data, you can request a demo here.

Check Setup

To check the SDK is setup correctly, run the following in a bash console:

$ python -m vortexasdk.check_setup

or

$ python3 -m vortexasdk.check_setup

A successful setup looks like this:
