irv-autopkg-client

A client library for accessing the irv-autopkg API, currently hosted at global.infrastructureresilience.org.

The irv-autopkg service allows users to extract portions of global datasets pertaining to climate risk and resilience. This Python package is a client for communicating with the irv-autopkg API.

Installation

Install from PyPI with:

pip install irv-autopkg-client

Usage

Create a client object to establish a session:

import irv_autopkg_client
client = irv_autopkg_client.Client()

For a list of available methods, try:

help(client)

Quick start

Is the API responding?

client.server_readiness()

Which boundaries can we create extracts for?

client.boundary_list()

Which datasets are available?

client.dataset_list()

Get information on a specific dataset:

client.dataset("wri_aqueduct.version_2")

To submit an extract job:

job_id = client.job_submit(
    country_iso,
    [
        "gri_osm.roads_and_rail_version_1",
        "wri_aqueduct.version_2"
    ]
)

We can then check if the job is complete:

client.job_complete(job_id)

Get the boundary of a territory:

boundary = client.boundary_geometry("bgd")

Download some extracted data:

client.extract_download(
    "bgd",
    "data",
    # there may be other datasets available, but only download the following
    dataset_filter=[
        "gri_osm.roads_and_rail_version_1",
        "wri_aqueduct.version_2"
    ],
    overwrite=True
)

Development

First clone this repository (currently hosted at nismod/irv-autopkg-client).

To install the package in editable mode, run:

pip install -e .
pip install vcrpy~=4.0

Alternatively, if you have poetry, run:

poetry install

Testing

To run the bundled tests, try:

python -m unittest

With poetry, either work within poetry shell, or run single commands in the virtual environment:

poetry run python -m unittest
