Tools for working with MDS provider data.

Developed and tested with Python 3.7+.

See mds-provider-services for real-world usage of many of these tools.

Installation

Install with pip:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/CityofSantaMonica/mds-provider@master#egg=mds-provider

Or with python directly:

git clone https://github.com/CityofSantaMonica/mds-provider.git
cd mds-provider
python setup.py install

Getting Started

Read from a Provider API

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

import mds

end = datetime.utcnow()
start = end - timedelta(hours=1)

client = mds.Client("provider_name", token="secret-token")

trips = client.get_trips(start_time=start, end_time=end)

Validate against the MDS schema

validator = mds.DataValidator.trips()

for error in validator.validate(trips):
    print(error)

Load into a Postgres database

db = mds.Database(user="user", password="password", host="host", db="database")

db.load_trips(trips)
