Python SDK for the Socrata Data Management API. Use this library to call into publishing and ETL functionality offered when writing to Socrata datasets.
with open('cool_dataset.csv', 'rb') as file:

name = "cool dataset",
description = "a description"
).csv(file)

- Library Docs
This only supports python3.
Installation is available through pip. Using a virtualenv is advised. Install the package by running
pip3 install socrata-py
The only hard dependency is requests which will be installed via pip. Pandas is not required, but creating a dataset from a Pandas dataframe is supported. See below.
Try the command line example with
python -m examples.create 'Police Reports' ~/Desktop/catalog.data.gov/Seattle_Real_Time_Fire_911_Calls.csv 'pete-test.test-socrata.com' --username $SOCRATA_USERNAME --password $SOCRATA_PASSWORD# Import some stuff
from socrata.authorization import Authorization
from socrata import Socrata
import os
# Boilerplate...
# Make an auth object
auth = Authorization(
"pete-test.test-socrata.com",
os.environ['SOCRATA_USERNAME'],
os.environ['SOCRATA_PASSWORD']
)To create a dataset, you can do this:
with open('cool_dataset.csv', 'rb') as file:
# Upload + Transform step
# revision is the *change* to the view in the catalog, which has not yet been applied.
# output is the OutputSchema, which is a change to data which can be applied via the revision
(revision, output) = Socrata(auth).create(
name = "cool dataset",
description = "a description"
).csv(file)
# Transformation step
# We want to add some metadata to our column, drop another column, and add a new column which will
# be filled with values from another column and then transformed
output = output\
.change_column_metadata('a_column', 'display_name').to('A Column!')\
.change_column_metadata('a_column', 'description').to('Here is a description of my A Column')\
.drop_column('b_column')\
.add_column('a_column_squared', 'A Column, but times itself', 'to_number(`a_column`) * to_number(`a_column`)', 'this is a column squared')\
.run()
# Validation of the results step
output = output.wait_for_finish()
# The data has been validated now, and we can access errors that happened during validation. For example, if one of the cells in `a_column` couldn't be converted to a number in the call to `to_number`, that error would be reflected in this error_count
assert output.attributes['error_count'] == 0
# If you want, you can get a csv stream of all the errors
errors = output.schema_errors_csv()
for line in errors.iter_lines():
print(line)
# Update step
# Apply the revision - this will make it public and available to make
# visualizations from
job = revision.apply(output_schema = output)
# This opens a browser window to your revision, and you will see the progress
# of the job
revision.open_in_browser()
# Application is async - this will block until all the data
# is in place and readable
job.wait_for_finish()Similar to the csv method are the xls, xlsx, and tsv methods, which upload
those files.
There is a blob method as well, which uploads blobby data to the source. This means the data will not be parsed, and will be displayed under "Files and Documents" in the catalog once the revision is applied.
Datasets can also be created from Pandas DataFrames
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('socrata-py/test/fixtures/simple.csv')
# Do various Pandas-y changes and modifications, then...
(revision, output) = Socrata(auth).create(
name = "Pandas Dataset",
description = "Dataset made from a Pandas Dataframe"
).df(df)
# Same code as above to apply the revision.A Socrata update is actually an upsert. Rows are updated or created based on the row identifier. If the row-identifer doesn't exist, all updates are just appends to the dataset.
A replace truncates the whole dataset and then inserts the new data.
# This is how we create our view initially
with open('cool_dataset.csv', 'rb') as file:
(revision, output) = Socrata(auth).create(
name = "cool dataset",
description = "a description"
).csv(file)
revision.apply(output_schema = output)
# This will build a configuration using the same settings (file parsing and
# data transformation rules) that we used to get our output. The action
# that we will take will be "update", though it could also be "replace"
config = output.build_config("cool-dataset-config", "update")
# Now we need to save our configuration name and view id somewhere so we
# can update the view using our config
configuration_name = "cool-dataset-config"
view_id = revision.view_id()
# Now later, if we want to use that config to update our view, we just need the view and the configuration_name
socrata = Socrata(auth)
view = socrata.views.lookup(view_id) # View will be the view we are updating with the new data
with open('updated-cool-dataset.csv', 'rb') as my_file:
(revision, job) = socrata.using_config(
configuration_name,
view
).csv(my_file)
print(job) # Our update job is now running# This is our socrata object, using the auth variable from above
socrata = Socrata(auth)
# This will make our initial revision, on a view that doesn't yet exist
revision = socrata.new({'name': 'cool dataset'})
# revision is a Revision object, we can print it
print(revision)
Revision({'created_by': {'display_name': 'rozap',
'email': 'chris.duranti@socrata.com',
'user_id': 'tugg-ikce'},

# We can also access the attributes of the revision
print(revision.attributes['metadata']['name'])
'cool dataset'# Using that revision, we can create an upload
upload = revision.create_upload('foo.csv')
# And print it
print(upload)
Source({'content_type': None,
'created_by': {'display_name': 'rozap',

with open('test/fixtures/simple.csv', 'rb') as f:
source = upload.csv(f)Transforming data consists of going from input data (data exactly as it appeared in the source) to output data (data as you want it to appear).
Transformation from input data to output data often has problems. You might, for example, have a column
full of numbers, but one row in that column is actually the value hehe! which cannot be transformed into
a number. Rather than failing at each datum which is dirty or wrong, transforming your data allows you to
reconcile these issues.
We might have a dataset called temps.csv that looks like
date, celsius
8-24-2017, 22
8-25-2017, 20
8-26-2017, 23
8-27-2017, hehe!
8-28-2017,
8-29-2017, 21
Suppose we uploaded it in our previous step, like this:
with open('temps.csv', 'rb') as f:
source = upload.csv(f)
input_schema = source.get_latest_input_schema()Our input_schema is the input data exactly as it appeared in the CSV, with all values of type string.
Our output_schema is the output data as it was guessed by Socrata. Guessing may not always be correct, which is why we have import configs to "lock in" a schema for automation. We can get the output_schema
like so:
output_schema = input_schema.get_latest_output_schema()We can now make changes to the schema, like so
new_output_schema = output
# Change the field_name of date to the_date
.change_column_metadata('date', 'field_name').to('the_date')\
# Change the description of the celsius column
.change_column_metadata('celsius', 'description').to('the temperature in celsius')\
# Change the display name of the celsius column
.change_column_metadata('celsius', 'display_name').to('Degrees (Celsius)')\
# Change the transform of the_date column to to_fixed_timestamp(`date`)
.change_column_transform('the_date').to('to_fixed_timestamp(`date`)')\
# Make the celsius column all numbers
.change_column_transform('celsius').to('to_number(`celsius`)')\
# Add a new column, which is computed from the `celsius` column
.add_column('fahrenheit', 'Degrees (Fahrenheit)', '(to_number(`celsius`) * (9 / 5)) + 32', 'the temperature in celsius')\
.run()change_column_metadata(column_name, column_attribute) takes the field name used to
identify the column and the column attribute to change (field_name, display_name, description, position)
add_column(field_name, display_name, transform_expression, description) will create a new column
We can also call drop_column(celsius) which will drop the column.
.run() will then make a request and return the new output_schema, or an error if something is invalid.
Transforms can be complex SoQL expressions. Available functions are listed here. You can do lots of stuff with them;
For example, you could change all null values into errors (which won't be imported) by doing
something like
new_output_schema = output
.change_column_transform('celsius').to('coalesce(to_number(`celsius`), error("Celsius was null!"))')
.run()Or you could add a new column that says if the day was hot or not
new_output_schema = output
.add_column('is_hot', 'Was the day hot?', 'to_number(`celsius`) >= 23')
.run()Or you could geocode a column, given the following CSV
address,city,zip,state
10028 Ravenna Ave NE, Seattle, 98128, WA
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, 20500, DC
6511 32nd Ave NW, Seattle, 98155, WA
We could transform our first output_schema into a single column dataset, where that
single column is a Point of the address
output = output\
.add_column('location', 'Incident Location', 'geocode(`address`, `city`, `state`, `zip`)')\
.drop_column('address')\
.drop_column('city')\
.drop_column('state')\
.drop_column('zip')\
.run()Composing these SoQL functions into expressions will allow you to validate, shape, clean and extend your data to make it more useful to the consumer.
Transformations are async, so if you want to wait for it to finish, you can do so
Transformations may have had errors, like in the previous example, we can't convert hehe! to a number. We can see the count of them like this:
print(output_schema.attributes['error_count'])We can view the detailed errors like this:
errors = output_schema.schema_errors()We can get a CSV of the errors like this:
csv_stream = output_schema.schema_errors_csv()We can look at the rows of our schema as well
rows = output_schema.rows(offset = 0, limit = 20)
self.assertEqual(rows, [
{'b': {'ok': ' bfoo'}},
{'b': {'ok': ' bfoo'}},
{'b': {'ok': ' bfoo'}},
{'b': {'ok': ' bfoo'}}
])# Now we have transformed our data into the shape we want, let's do an upsert
job = revision.apply(output_schema = output_schema)
# This will complete the upsert behind the scenes. If we want to
# re-fetch the current state of the upsert job, we can do so
job = job.show()
# To get the progress
print(job.attributes['log'])
[
{'details': {'Errors': 0, 'Rows Created': 0, 'Rows Updated': 0, 'By RowIdentifier': 0, 'By SID': 0, 'Rows Deleted': 0}, 'time': '2017-02-28T20:20:59', 'stage': 'upsert_complete'},
{'details': {'created': 1}, 'time': '2017-02-28T20:20:59', 'stage': 'columns_created'},
{'details': {'created': 1}, 'time': '2017-02-28T20:20:59', 'stage': 'columns_created'},
{'details': None, 'time': '2017-02-28T20:20:59', 'stage': 'started'}
]
# So maybe we just want to wait here, printing the progress, until the job is done
job.wait_for_finish(progress = lambda job: print(job.attributes['log']))
# So now if we go look at our original four-four, our data will be thereWhen there is an existing Socrata view that you'd like to update the metadata of, you can do so by creating a Source which is the Socrata view.
view = socrata.views.lookup('abba-cafe')
revision = view.revisions.create_replace_revision()
source = revision.source_from_dataset()
output_schema = source.get_latest_input_schema().get_latest_output_schema()
new_output_schema = output_schema\
.change_column_metadata('a', 'description').to('meh')\
.change_column_metadata('b', 'display_name').to('bbbb')\
.change_column_metadata('c', 'field_name').to('ccc')\
.run()
revision.apply(output_schema = new_output_schema)Install test deps by running pip install -r requirements.txt. This will install pdoc and pandas which are required to run the tests.

ArgSpec
Args: auth
Top level publishing object.
All functions making HTTP calls return a result tuple, where the first element in the tuple is whether or not the call succeeded, and the second element is the returned object if it was a success, or a dictionary containing the error response if the call failed. 2xx responses are considered successes. 4xx and 5xx responses are considered failures. In the event of a socket hangup, an exception is raised.
Shortcut to create a dataset. Returns a Create object,
which contains functions which will create a view, upload
your file, and validate data quality in one step.
To actually place the validated data into a view, you can call .apply() on the revision

If there are not yet bytes uploaded, these parse options will be used in order to parse the file.
If there are already bytes uploaded, this will trigger a re-parsing of
the file, and consequently a new InputSchema will be created. You can call
source.latest_input() to get the newest one.
Parse options are: header_count (int): the number of rows considered a header column_header (int): the one based index of row to use to generate the header encoding (string): defaults to guessing the encoding, but it can be explicitly set column_separator (string): For CSVs, this defaults to ",", and for TSVs " ", but you can use a custom separator quote_char (string): Character used to quote values that should be escaped. Defaults to """
Args:
name (string): One of the options above, ie: "column_separator" or "header_count"
Returns:
change (ParseOptionChange): implements a `.to(value)` function which you call to set the value
For our example, assume we have this dataset
This is my cool dataset
A, B, C
1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
We want to say that the first 2 rows are headers, and the second of those 2 rows should be used to make the column header. We would do that like so:

Args: name
Change a parse option on the source.
If there are not yet bytes uploaded, these parse options will be used in order to parse the file.
If there are already bytes uploaded, this will trigger a re-parsing of
the file, and consequently a new InputSchema will be created. You can call
source.latest_input() to get the newest one.
Parse options are: header_count (int): the number of rows considered a header column_header (int): the one based index of row to use to generate the header encoding (string): defaults to guessing the encoding, but it can be explicitly set column_separator (string): For CSVs, this defaults to ",", and for TSVs " ", but you can use a custom separator quote_char (string): Character used to quote values that should be escaped. Defaults to """
Args:
name (string): One of the options above, ie: "column_separator" or "header_count"
Returns:
change (ParseOptionChange): implements a `.to(value)` function which you call to set the value
For our example, assume we have this dataset
This is my cool dataset
A, B, C
1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
We want to say that the first 2 rows are headers, and the second of those 2 rows should be used to make the column header. We would do that like so:
Examples:
source = source .change_parse_option('header_count').to(2) .change_parse_option('column_header').to(2) .run()ArgSpec
Args: fourfour
Create a new Revision in the context of this ImportConfig. Sources that happen in this Revision will take on the values in this Config.

ArgSpec
Args: progress, timeout, sleeptime
Defaults: progress=<function noop at 0x7fa34fb57040>, timeout=43200, sleeptime=1

ArgSpec
Args: field_name, display_name, transform_expr, description
Add a column
Args:
field_name (str): The column's field_name, must be unique
display_name (str): The columns display name
transform_expr (str): SoQL expression to evaluate and fill the column with data from
description (str): Optional column description
Returns:
output_schema (OutputSchema): Returns self for easy chaining
Examples:
new_output_schema = output
# Add a new column, which is computed from the `celsius` column
.add_column('fahrenheit', 'Degrees (Fahrenheit)', '(to_number(`celsius`) * (9 / 5)) + 32', 'the temperature in celsius')
# Add a new column, which is computed from the `celsius` column
.add_column('kelvin', 'Degrees (Kelvin)', '(to_number(`celsius`) + 273.15')
.run()This is probably not the function you are looking for.
This returns whether or not any transform in this output schema has failed. "Failed" in this case means an internal error (which is unexpected), not a data error (which is expected). This function will wait for processing to complete if it hasn't yet.
For data errors:
Tell whether or not there are data errors
output_schema.any_errors()
Get the count of data errors
output_schema.attributes['error_count']
Get the errors themselves
output_schema.schema_errors(offset = 0, limit = 20)
