Include code (or docs) to retrieve input data
xrotwang opened this issue · comments
Starting with Glottolog 3.0, all glottolog data can be accessed programmatically using a python client library pyglottolog
which acts on the data in clld/glottolog. You could include code or documentation here how to use pyglottolog
to retrieve the newick serialization for any version of Glottolog - including potential local modifications, if the client accesses a local fork of clld/glottolog
.
With pyglottolog
installed from current HEAD
of clld/glottolog
, this would be as simple as running
glottolog newick > glottolog-tree-newick.txt
Nice to know, thanks! I will check if my code works with Glottolog 3.0 (and update it as needed) gopefully soon.
