python-databasin is a client library for interacting with Data Basin.
$ pip install python-databasinThe code snippet below will import a NetCDF dataset into Data Basin and make it public. Note that the account you use must have import permission and the import must have complete metadata and style information.
from databasin.client import Client
c = Client()
c.login('user', 'pass')
# Package must have complete metadata and style necessary for one-step import
dataset = c.import_netcdf_dataset('/path/to/netcdf_with_metadata_and_style.zip')
# One-step imports are private by default
dataset.make_public()
print(dataset.id)
print(dataset.title)You can also upload Esri layer packages (.lpk). As with NetCDF's, layer packages for now must have the all metadata
required by Data Basin to successfully import:
dataset = c.import_lpk('/path/to/lpk_with_metadata.lpk')
print(dataset.id)
print(dataset.title)python-databasin can be used with an API key instead of a password:
from databasin.client import Client
c = Client()
c.set_api_key('<username>', '<api key>')
my_datasets = c.list_my_datasets()
