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 worldβs 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.
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:
quantity | vessels.0.name | product.group.label | product.grade.label | events.cargo_port_load_event.0.end_timestamp | events.cargo_port_unload_event.0.start_timestamp | |

Try me out in your browser:
$ pip install vortexasdk
The SDK requires Python version 3.7 or above, see Setup FAQ for more details.
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.
To check the SDK is setup correctly, run the following in a bash console:
$ python -m vortexasdk.check_setup
A successful setup looks like this:
